The Quaker Arts Network greeted 2022 with a celebratory concert of songs. John Sheldon was there
‘The concert allowed time for each writer to give some background to their piece.’
We started with ‘We do not own the world’ by Jenny Vickers. This is from a collection of Jenny’s settings of the Advices & queries and was presented as an audio-visual display. There was an uplifting approach to the music with the emphasis on ‘Rejoice in the splendour of God’s continuing creation.’
