Scientology Information Center Hosts Special Concert Honoring Those Who Have Served
On Saturday, May 26th, noted performer Joanie Sigal presented a stirring and inspiring musical performance to a packed Scientology Information Center in downtown Clearwater.
- (1888PressRelease) May 30, 2019 - Following a light reception at the start of the event, Ms. Sigal gave the history of Memorial Day explaining that it was originally known as Decoration Day; it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971.
Ms. Sigal then performed songs from many genres which she felt demonstrated the freedoms, qualities and values that we hold dear as Americans. Some of the genres included country, blues, jazz, pop as well as songs from Joanie’s signature repertoire from popular musicals such as Cats and Phantom of the Opera.
One song that was the most emotionally impactful for the audience was, God Bless America by Lee Greenwood where attendees stood and joined in singing the chorus, “I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free...” Afterwards one guest, Sophie Krekich said, “I cried! That’s one of my favorite songs.”
“After Joanie’s spring concert in April of this year, her fans clamored for her next performance date,” said Amber Skjelset, manager of the Scientology Information Center. “Considering the demand and Ms. Sigal’s family’s extensive military background – it was only fitting for Joanie to return and perform our special Memorial Day Concert.”
“Music and artists have a way of bringing people together,” said Ms. Sigal. “L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology was himself a naval veteran and an accomplished musician," said Ms. Sigal. He also was a big supporter of the arts and artists – once writing 'A culture is only as great as its dreams, and its dreams are dreamed by artists.’”
