ABOUT THE CHOIR
The multi-cultural repertoire of the Baha'i House of Worship Choir reflects the Bahá'í belief in the unity of humanity and includes classical choral works, contemporary choral compositions with lyrics from the Bahá'í Scriptures or other Sacred Writings, "Bahá’í Gospel" which are Bahá’í writings sung in Gospel style, Negro spirituals, and selections chanted in Persian or Arabic, the original languages of the Bahá’í Faith.
Van Gilmer, renowned vocal soloist, choral director and Gospel composer, serves as Music Director at the Bahá'í House of Worship. Gilmer revels in assembling choirs to sing scripture of the world’s religions celebrating God and inspiring audiences with rich, heavenly harmonies that reach the heart and soul. Gospel literally means “good news,” and Gilmer loves sharing the “good news” music of the Bahá'í Faith with the world.
In addition to singing regularly from the loft in the Baha'i Temple, the choir performs in diverse venues in Chicago's North Shore.
Free admission, ticket/reservation required. Call 847-853-2300 for more information.

This is the first time I see Fred Ward's name has been put on this song " In this Day, Baha'u'llah" after hundreds of performances by various groups including the Opening of the Terraces! This unique artist who passed away last summer dedicated his life to Faith, music and drama and has to be acknowledged at all time!
Fred was indeed wonderful!
Frederick Ward's "In This Day, Baha'u'llah" has already been translated into the following languages - Pilipino, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Bangla, Burmese, Vietnamese, Bahasa Indonesia, Spanish, Lao and Amharic (in Africa): www.mtcarmelproductions.com (Check out Volume 2 Track #7)
