Raleigh Moravian Church
Congregational Christmas Lovefeast on Sunday,
December 18, at 7:30 p.m.



A beautiful and special Christmas Worship celebration as we Sing Carols, Share Lovefeast Buns and Coffee, and Receive a Beeswax Candle!

Cathy Hamner will be the organist that evening, and the lovefeast music will be provided by Cathy and soprano Teresa Fernandez.

Un programa de música española puede a penas considerarse completo sin una cantante al estilo de Teresa Fernández. En una crítica hace como un año , el comentarista (Paul Williams) indicó que sus presentaciones " evocan las técnicas mas finas del canto en clubes nocturnos." Esa maestría artística estuvo presente cuando Teresa, acompañada (guitarra) por Stephenson, cantó la sin par, bella y triste "Canción del Emperador" de Narváez, declamando con emoción el texto "inmensa pena y dolor intenso." Su registro de voz, poco común, fué evidente en la obra anónima "Romance," requiriendo un registro bajo que reta las medidas vocales de una soprano. Ella completó su participación con la famosa "Danza No. 5" de Granados, y "Granada" de Agustín Lara, respaldada en esta última canción por guitarras, bajo y percusión.

Dear Ed and Teresa,

Thank you for the fantastic program this past Sunday (Jan 10'10) at the NC Museum of History. You performed together so well, and your set included a great mix of instrumental and vocal music that the audience enjoyed tremendously. It’s very rare for this series to include an encore, but the packed house did not want your performance to end!
Jamie Katz, Program Associate, PineCone

I went to the Museum of History and saw/heard the concert " Songs of the Soul" with Teresa Fernandez and the Ed Stephenson Band at the Museum of History and enjoyed it sooooo much! There was a big crowd there... I could have listened for 8 hours more!
Martha Harris

What a delightful and informative performance. Thank you so much for the invitation. John was with me and he told me to tell you how beautiful you looked and performed!

Hi Teresa---LOVED your performance today at the History Museum. You sang beautifully, & the audience was entranced. Even my husband was tapping his foot, & he has NO rhythm!
Cindy Urquhart

We just returned from the concert this afternoon at the Museum of History and we were enthralled with the entire program. We both fell in love with Teresa and her gorgeous voice, charm and brilliance.

You were terrific. Grace loved the concert and so did Penny and her sister.

Ed Stephenson was my classical guitar instructor, so naturally I wanted to catch his act. This was the first time I had seen/heard you perform, and it was a wonderful treat!

Dear Dr. Landau, Mukund & I went to this concert with Sunitha and Mittals. It was fantabulous. We enjoyed it. Only one thing, it was only for 1 hour… too short. The whole auditorium was full. Thank you for letting us know all these good events happening in the area.

Hi Pashupati (Dr. Landau), Namasthe!
I just returned from the concert. It was out of this world! Five of us from our music group went together and all of us thoroughly enjoyed it. Teresa Fernandez has an amazing voice and the guitarist and the percussionist were awesome!
Sunitha

Te prometo que te estare haciendo "barra" en todas tus proximas presentaciones. Las canciones fueron maravillosamente interpretadas por los guitarristas y tu voz

Teresa has the voice of an angel. It is silky, sultry and beautiful. What a gift she has and she gives others when she sings. Thank you, Teresa, for singing at the fundraiser for The Tomorrow Fund for Hispanic Students! Dianne Lanevi

Mi amiga Teresa, what a wonderful joy to meet you and to hear your wonderful singing. It made my heart smile. Rebecca Reyes

My dear Teresa, what a wonderful program! I loved every minute of it. You were simply marvelous and your voice was most beautiful and your high notes were great! You gave me so much pleasure today. Thank you for sharing your God-given talent with all of us. You looked simply marvelous and lovely in your Spanish attire
