Dear brethren and friends,
The peace and joy of our Lord Jesus be with you! The Italian Field, in cooperation with General Conference (GC) Music Committee, is glad to invite you to the 2023 International Music Conference, in the Tuscany Region.
The event will take place from July 31-August 6, 2023. This conference, dedicated in a special way to our musicians of all parts of the world, will coincide with the Italian Spiritual Field Conference. From Monday, July 31st to Friday August 4th, singers and instrumentalists are invited to join the GC International Orchestra for some days of intensive rehearsals in order to produce high quality audio and video recordings to be used as a tool for missionary outreach, as well as to perform free sacred concerts for the public.
We will spend this unique week in reflecting on God’s Word, morning and evening, and spending free time in the picturesque nature of Tuscany.
“The melody of song, poured forth from many hearts in clear, distinct utterance, is one of God’s instrumentalities in the work of saving souls” (5T 493).
“Rightly employed, music is a precious gift of God, designed to uplift the thoughts to high and noble themes, to inspire and elevate the soul… It forms a part of God’s worship in the courts above, and we should endeavor to approach as nearly as possible to the harmony of the heavenly choirs. The proper training of the voice is and important feature in education, and should not be neglected.” (PP 594).
From Friday, August 4 to Sunday, August 6, the Italian Field Conference will merge with the International Music Conference.
The theme of this meeting will be Heavenly Harmonies.
“Their voice goes out through all the earth and their words to the end of the world.” – (Psalm 19:4)
