Berglund Center is excited to announce the “Gospel Love Festival” featuring Pastor John P. Kee and New Life, with special guests COMMITTED, Minister Steve Henderson & the Roanoke Voices Choir, and Henry Brickey Music Ministry

In the late 1980’s, Pastor John P. Kee was crowned the Prince of Gospel, which is a title he laughs at because his given middle name is Prince. (“If they’d never given me the title, I would have always been my Grandmother’s John Prince”, he often says.) His music has been featured in film and on television, in commercial advertisements and even on Saturday Night Live. His music catalogue is said to be one of the largest in the world today by an individual Publisher/Writer. As a pastor, national recording artist, community activist, and movie producer/director, his career highlights have included winning 58 GMWA Excellence Awards, 25 Stellar Awards, 9 WALJO awards, 7 Grammy Awards Nominations, 6 Dove Awards, 2 Billboard Music Awards, 1 Soul Train Music Award, and many more.

Pastor Kee’s heart is centered around his family. Since its inception in 1995, Pastor Kee has been the full-time pastor of the New Life Fellowship Center. Through non-traditional outreach that transcends the four walled structure, the church’s unique approach to ministry has resulted in a rapidly growing, thriving congregation. Pastor Kee’s ability to personally relate to the urban lifestyle allows him to reach those who would not typically attend church and further are not welcomed by many assemblies. Where there has been a natural disaster, where unemployment has overwhelmed a city, or anywhere people are hurting, you’ll find Pastor Kee doing what he believes he was called to do- encouraging, inspiring, and seed planting.

Two works of incredible emotion and orchestral power will close our must-see Masterworks season in May. Elgar’s Enigma Variations is a great showpiece for orchestra with each variation portraying one of his own friends through vivid musical character sketches. The mysterious “Enigma” theme, never fully revealed, adds a layer of suspense and intrigue to the work’s emotional range and rich orchestration. Dvořák’s Cello Concerto is a powerful and lyrical masterpiece, performed by acclaimed American cellist Julie Albers, principal with the world-class St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. This masterpiece blends Bohemian folk influences with sweeping Romantic expression, and showcases the cello’s full emotional and technical range which is regarded as one of the greatest concertos ever written for the instrument.
