“The Year to Save the Earth” – A Multimedia Experience

Eliot Chapel's Living Legends series presents “The Year to Save the Earth” – A Multimedia Experience by Jim Scott. The concert will take place at Eliot Chapel on Saturday, October 12 from 3PM-4:30PM. Tickets are $20 adults / $5 students. Register and purchase tickets here.

Mixing powerful songs and beautiful projected images, “The Year to Save the Earth” takes us from grieving to celebration and from protest to positive vision for the planet. Jim’s lyrical melodies and outspoken poetry celebrate what’s beautiful, amazing, and fragile. As well as some hard reality, the program’s message is one of optimism with many invitations to join in the singing. Facing the urgency of the environmental crisis, the songs challenge us to feel, to learn and to act.

Prolific composer guitarist Jim Scott was awarded an NEA grant to present this multimedia concert in Worcester MA with band and chorus. Jim brings warmth and humor with his jazz and world music influenced songs. He’s visited over 700 UU Churches in 4 decades of travels and his songs are in our hymnbooks (Gather the Spirit). Formerly a member of the Paul Winter Consort, Jim was composer of their celebrated Missa Gaia/Earth Mass and sang their anthem song Common Ground. He has toured the world, recorded nine CDs of original music, published a growing line of choral works, and created the Earth and Spirit Songbook, an anthology of over 100 songs of Earth by many contemporary composers.
