Ann Arbor was especially blessed when Melanie DeMore was hosted at the University of Michigan, School of Music, Theater & Dance by Professor Eugene Rogers, Director of Choirs. It was “A Grand Night for Singing” at Hill Auditorium, with every music group filling a stage keynoted by DeMore and with a focus on community and interdependence.
This was followed the next day, when DeMore brought the same spirit to the Sunday Worship Service at FUMC, under the musical direction of Dr. Ann Marie Koukios. Ann Arbor Photographic Arts was blessed to be able to document DeMore’s tender activist spirit. DeMore’s musical talents are enormous but she also mentioned Harriet Tubman, who gained freedom from slavery but kept returning to help other slaves gain their freedom, too. She reminded us of the care we must give one another, because we are not in life alone. Amen.
