Memorial concert features award-winning duo

A concert at the Divinity School this week will honor the memory of one of the 20th-century's most renowned teachers of Christian spirituality.

Two members of The Paul Winter Consort -- Eugene Friesen, cello, and Paul Halley, piano and pipe organ -- will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 22, in the Divinity School's Marquand Chapel, 490 Prospect St.

The Grammy Award-winning musicians, who have performed together for nearly 20 years both as a duo and in the consort, have a repertoire that includes classical, sacred, folk, jazz and ethnic music. The Washington Post has written of the group's improvisational style: "Friesen's frenzied bowings and soaring melodies, combined with Halley's mellifluous tone and subtle harmonic shifts [send] many in the audience home in a state of musical rapture."

The Yale concert, which is sponsored by the Divinity School and The Logos Foundation, will honor the memory of Henri J.M. Nouwen, a Roman Catholic priest and teacher, who was known for his impassioned public lectures, his powerful celebrations of the Eucharist and his prolific writing (he authored 40 books).

A native of The Netherlands, Nouwen was a professor of pastoral theology at Yale, Harvard and the University of Notre Dame. He spent the last 10 years of his life, until his sudden death in 1996, as pastor of the L'Arche Daybreak Community.

The Divinity School concert is open to the public for a suggested donation of $15 or a supporting donation of $25 to support future events in honor of Nouwen.
