The 2024 Music Recital

This year’s music recital at Jubilee was full of powerful and awe-inspiring. The event showcased our students’ incredible talents, drawing us closer to the Lord through their heartfelt performances. It was a day filled with joy, praise, and worship, as each note played and sung lifted our spirits and glorified God.
 
 
 
 
 
A special highlight of this year’s recital was the introduction of new instruments into our program. Though new to our curriculum, the violin, saxophone, and flute players delivered performances that were truly worthy of their skill level. Their contributions added a beautiful, rich texture to the recital, demonstrating their dedication and the wonderful guidance of their instructors. 
 
Katie Dejong, in her first time experimenting the recital live, she said: “The Jubilee Recital was a wonderfull evening of worship to God. The students sang, danced, and played a variety of instruments, parents and neighbors joyfully clapped and sang along with the choirs. Our Mission team was moved by the students’ adoration and sincere paise to our Savior! It’s certanly an evening of great joy in the Lord!” 
 
  • Violin: Our young violinists played with grace and precision, their pieces of art.
  • Saxophone: The saxophonists filled the room with smooth, resonant tones, showcasing their mastery of this complex instrument.
  • Flute: The flutists enchanted us with their clear, bright notes, a testament to their hard work and practice.
 
Every presentation, brought us closer to the Lord. The music was more than just a display of talent; it was an offering of worship, a way to express our love and devotion to God. The children’s joy was palpable, and seeing them so happy and engaged filled our hearts with gladness.
 

 
In the words of Psalm 150:4, “Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe!” We witnessed this scripture come to life as our students played their instruments with fervor and joy, each performance a testament to their growth and dedication.
 
We know we are living in the last days, and we feel very excited to praise the Lord amidst all the events happening in the world. The Lord has called us with a vision, and we are worshiping Him in the midst of the storms. Just as God once told Jehoshaphat to put his worshippers in front of the army, singing and praising God, and He would give them victory, we also stand firm and worship in spirit and in truth. 2 Chronicles 20: 21-22 “Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying:
“Give thanks to the Lord,for his love endures forever.”
22As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated.”
 
 
We are incredibly proud of our students and grateful for the opportunity to celebrate their achievements. This recital reminded us of the powerful role music plays in our faith, bringing us closer to each other and to our Creator. Let us continue to support and encourage our young musicians as they use their gifts to glorify God, knowing that through their music, they are making a profound impact on our hearts and souls.
