Music has traditionally been a way to express and honor faith, whatever your faith may be. Bainbridge Island is host to a variety of faith groups; have you ever wondered what kinds of music each uses in their worship? Come to the Interfaith Music Festival Sunday, April 19, to find out!

At least ten different groups will come together at the festival, expressing their faiths in voice, harmony, dance, and musical interpretation. In this podcast, Tiffny Weighall, Music Festival Event Coordinator for the Bainbridge Island Interfaith Council, talks with BCB host Sandy Schubach about this exciting upcoming event and special guest appearances.

Tiffny also explains how the event first started, the directors involved, and what kind of music and performance you can expect at this concert.

The Interfaith Music Festival will be held, free of charge, on Sunday, May 19th, at 3pm in the Bethany Lutheran Church. Come listen to the sounds of faith!

Land Acknowledgment

“Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove, has been hallowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished.” – Chief Seattle 1854

We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is within the ancestral territory of the suq̀ʷabš “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People). Expert fisherman, canoe builders and basket weavers, the suq̀ʷabš live in harmony with the lands and waterways along Washington’s Central Salish Sea as they have for thousands of years. Here, the suq̀ʷabš live and protect the land and waters of their ancestors.
