Jesus said, “You are the light of the world… People do not light a lamp and put it under the bushel basket; rather, they put it on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.”  We are here to be a light in this world.  How much light we shine is up to us. ARE WE A SPUTTERING FLICKER OR A STEADY FLAME?

Scott Alberici is one of America’s finest clarinet virtuosos. Known for his superbly rich and warm tone, lyrical phrasing, and command of the American songbook, Mr. Alberici has developed a personal style that is instantly recognizable. His rare ability to capture the moment with a subtlety of expression mixed with brilliant and melodic improvisations will keep the listener on the edge of their seat from the drop of the downbeat to the end of the performance.
