PRESS RELEASE: STOCKTON'S SORN FAMILY QUARTET COMES TO SAN JOSE ON JUNE 17, 2006 AT 7:30PM FREE ADMISSION
San Jose Central Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church and The Sorn's ( a musical family quartet ) cordially invite you to a spiritual concert experience - The Aspire Tour 2006 - on June 17, 2006 with fellowship and greetings at 7:15PM, and a concert starting at 7:30PM at San Jose Central Seventh-day Adventist Church.
This free concert and celebration features an acoustic musical experience performed by vocalists - Leakhena Lau, Sakary Sorn, and Sofia Sorn - and classical pianist Sophoan Sorn: children of Cambodian SDA minister, Pastor Sophat Sorn. This is fused with inspirational stories and testimonies of life experiences from the Sorn family's twenty-one years of ministry - from the refugee camps between Cambodia and Thailand in the 1980s and early 1990s to their current ministry and projects in Stockton, California. A short film will be shown, called "21 Years," produced by Sophoan Sorn, who is also the director of Stockton Crossing Cultural Bridges, an active international cultural arts and documentary films organization within the Central Valley.
Performances will include renditions of classic Christian hymns, contemporary and gospel Christian favorites, and a special piano performance of "How Great Thou Art" with vocals in English and Khmer (Cambodian). There will be unique performances of the "Tror," a Cambodian traditional instrument by The Sorn's 78-year-old grandfather, Mr. Sonn Moeng. A love offering will be requested during the service.
After an Inauguration in Stockton on April 22nd, The Aspire Tour 2006 continues as a tour across churches of various denominations in California's Northern Central Valley and Bay Area. The Sorn's shares that "The Aspire Tour is a reflection of our faith, our devotion, our testimonies, and our aspiration to be like Jesus."
The address of San Jose Central SDA Church is 2345 Alum Rock Avenue, San Jose CA, 95116.
