Old Cambridge Baptist Church (OCBC) in Harvard Sq. will begin the new year and the liturgical season of Epiphany with energizing and hope-filled sonic celebrating! Pianist and liturgical composer Douglas Koch will present the 42nd annual celebration of The Epiphany Jazz Mass with his quartet Ensemble Epiphanie, featuring Linda Chase on flute, Chris Rathbun on bass, and Ed Sorrentino on percussion. This contemporary setting of the mass celebrates the “shining forth” of the Divine in the life of Christ, and lifts up the yearnings of all humanity for a world illuminated by compassion, new life and peace rooted in justice. The psalms, hymns, and setting of this mass are all in jazz and Third Stream idioms, and include the band’s improvisations to Epiphany scripture readings and to Koch’s homiletic ruminations. The service will be both in-person in the Sanctuary of the church (enter from 400 Harvard Street) as well as live streamed on Facebook and Zoom at 10:20am, Sunday, January 7, 2024.To join the livestream, visit https://m.facebook.com/OldCambridgeBaptist Church/ or email pastor@oldcambridgebaptist.org to receive the Zoom login information.
