SOEMUS - 12º Seminário Música e Adoração - João W. Faustini / Samuel Kerr (2000)

 


In the year 2000 I was just a young teenager and then I saw my father coming home after an event with a VHS tape and a CD, I was immediately interested. Upon asking him and reading the information, I learned he had been to a seminar of music and worship by SOEMUS and the participants would also have a chance to be conduced by their conductor while all the songs performed would be recorded (that's why my father got home with a CD). I found the idea fantastic and very avant-garde for a protestant community.
