GRAND FINALE Celebrated with members of the True Family backed up by the J-Carp band. It was a spectacular evening. Hyun Jin Nim, and Hyung Jin Nim (True Parents youngest son) did a fantastic Job. They are going on a tour to Japan and Korea. The atmosphere was so good and uplifting.

During the 3-day event, a giant screen was set up in the back of the stage and we could see every detail in a close up fashion of what was happening on the stage.

David Eaton wrote as an introduction to the program the following:

In 1983 ,while in South America to perform for the Sixth World Media Conference, Father shared his view with regards to creating "New Age" music. He said, "Classical music should be our foundation because it has the ability to express the widest range of heart. With that foundation, combine the Abel-type elements of other styles or music-folk, pop, ethnic, jazz-with the classical style in such a way that the marriage of individual styles can be transcended and thus create a harmonious unification of those diverse elements. That’s New Age music !"

In tonight’s program we’ve have attempted to do just as Father instructed. With classical music as a foundation we’ve have integrated Korean Art Songs, Japanese Traditional music and dance, American Pop, Gospel, west African folk and even Hip-Hop into the fabric of this special High Holy Day celebration.

As the new millennium begins, it is my hope to continue to bring True Parents’ tradition of True Love into all of our creative endeavors.
