Jan Kraybill's 26th annual Super Bowl Sunday Organ Concert: "It Takes a Team"
— (CST, UTC-06) — (CST, UTC-06)
Community of Christ Auditorium, 1001 W Walnut St, Independence, MO
Back for the 26th year! As always, my annual Super Bowl Sunday organ concert will begin at 2pm and conclude by 3:30, giving us all plenty of time to view all of the big game. And, as always, when our Kansas City Chiefs are in the Super Bowl, I'll open the concert with a special piece in their honor. And, as always, this concert is FREE admission, and casual dress is fine. Come enjoy the fun!
This year's concert will be in the Auditorium (green-domed building) at Community of Christ's headquarters. The theme is "It Takes a Team." No one -- musician, athlete, composer, superstar of any endeavor -- operates in a vacuum. We're all parts of various teams, and we can choose to motivate each other in countless ways. Let's celebrate teamwork in music, and cheer for the Chiefs' brilliant teamwork this season!
