“Songs of Our Fathers”
Scott DeVeaux and Rev. Leia Durland-Jones
“Your children are not your children,” Khalil Gibran once wrote. “They come through you but not from you. And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.” What can we, as parents and children, learn by looking backward at our ancestors? Music Director Scott DeVeaux considers this question, turning toward his past as well as looking toward the future.
