RECITAL ETIQUETTE
Recitals are special occasions designed to give students a chance to share their music and gain valuable performance experience. They provide a benchmark to measure growth from year to year, and an incentive for students to practice and polish pieces they are working on.
There will be many recital sessions scheduled throughout the day in various rooms throughout the church building. Please do not ask to have your child perform at the beginning or the end of their recital session – students and families are expected to be on time and stay for the entire recital that their children are performing in. We are organizing the recital sessions to be about an hour long.
Learning about and practicing recital etiquette is an important part of a student’s musical education, so we ask that families read and discuss these guidelines with their children.
Performer Etiquette

Dress appropriately. Choose conservative over casual in terms of shoe styles, hem length of dresses and straps for tops. Avoid jewelry that makes noise as you move; heels that are difficult to walk in; and sleeves that get in the way of playing.
Be on time. Your teacher will let you know when and where to meet before the recital to warm up. This will be at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the recital. If you are playing with an accompanist, you may be asked to arrive earlier to rehearse together.
Be prepared. Make sure you have your music, instrument and any necessary accessories before leaving home (bow, rosin, capo, tuner, etc.)
Be respectful. Refrain from whispering, talking, or using electronic devices. Show the other performers the same courtesy you want to be shown.
Enter and exit with confidence. You should bow at the end and acknowledge the accompanist (if you have one). Teachers will go over this in lessons.

Audience Etiquette

Arrive on time or a little early. Late arrivals are distracting to the audience, and they can be unnerving for the performer.
Turn off cell phones and other electronic devices. Ring tones and electronic chirps are distracting; and texting, reading emails and playing games while students are performing is disrespectful.
Do not cause distractions. Bring something (a quiet game or book) to keep young children under 8 years old occupied. Children over 8 should be able to sit quietly and watch.
Take disruptive infants or toddlers out of the recital as soon as they become fussy. Please sit close to an aisle so that you can leave without too much commotion. We will come to get you when your child performs.
Do not talk, whisper, rattle papers or eat during the recital.
Stay for the entire performance to show respect for all of the musicians.

Photos and Video

Space will be reserved so that a parent/guardian can move forward to take photos or videos of their child performing. No flash photography, please.

Reception

Each family should bring something to share (nut-free cookies, brownies, cupcakes, fruit, drinks). Make sure it is something that can be hand-held.and is not potentially messy.

Participants should plan to attend all five sessions. Co-facilitators Ted Cmarada and Susan Spangler are ELPC members and licensed psychotherapists. Their work is grounded in experience and seasoned with warm, compassionate presence.

Sanctuary Worship: Pentecost Sunday
2018-05-20 11:00 - 12:15 | ELPC – Sanctuary, 116 South Highland Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, 15206, United States
Pentecost is the annual event in which we celebrate the birth of the early Christian church by remembering how the Holy Spirit inspired the first disciples. We wear red as a symbol of the fire that touched women and men that day and re-commit ourselves to sharing the good news of Christ.
This year, Pentecost Sunday, May 20, is extra-special, because we will confirm a group of young people and celebrate the final stage of our year-long building renovation project. The bulk of the work is finally done! While final tests and touch-ups are completed, we will celebrate the excellent renovations and improvements through special words, music, and events. Mike Tomaro and his jazz combo from Duquesne University will be with us during worship, and then there will be opportunities for you to tour the building, hear from hosts at different locations about the improvements, and offer your own prayers for God’s architectural blessings.
Join us for this great day as we celebrate our past, rejoice in the present improvements, and look forward to beginning our 200th year of ministry in East Liberty!

This service is held in the Sanctuary on the first floor, with an organ prelude before the service. We extend a warm welcome to our Latino friends and include several prayers in our service bulletin in English and Spanish. This is ELPC’s largest service, offering a traditional worship service with thought-provoking sermons, and the music of our Chancel Choir and organ to reinforce the spirit of praise and reverence. Like many of the great cathedrals of Europe, the compelling power and beauty of our historic, gothic-style Sanctuary enhances the spiritual experience. Children are invited to the chancel steps to hear their own message with one of the pastors. The service is led by ELPC’s senior pastor or other members of the pastoral staff. Special guest pastors or speakers periodically lead the service.

Together nothing is impossible. Communities throughout time have realized that by coming together they can change the world. As we walk through our day, or sing through our concert, or march the streets of our city, we must remember the power that we have when we are joined by heart. With this concert, we especially honor our transgender, gender-queer, gender non-binary, and two-spirit family members, who help to teach us that there are more colors in our crayon box than just pink and blue. Love will always win against hate and fear.
Tickets will be available at the door or at RCCPittsburgh.com. A sign language interpreter will be present.

The choir is an Artist in Residence at ELPC, where they rehearse and perform. RCC affirms and celebrates LGBTQ+ identity through the unifying power of music.

This year, students completing third grade will be presented with a gift of a Bible from the church, that they might be nurtured in God’s word.

This service is held in the Sanctuary on the first floor, with an organ prelude before the service.

This is ELPC’s largest service, offering a traditional worship service with thought-provoking sermons, and the music of our Chancel Choir and organ to reinforce the spirit of praise and reverence.

Systemic Racism: Discovering Our Implicit Bias

Throughout 2018, ELPC’s Mission Board will be presenting a series of events, titled Facing Systemic Racism. Discussions of racism often involve our personal experiences. What we may not realize is how racism in our social systems and institutions impacts our racial relationships. To tackle racism in our society, we need to acknowledge the systems in our society that create institutional racism and racial privilege.
Join us for the third program in our series, titled “Systemic Racism: Discovering Our Implicit Bias.” Our discussion and activities will explore these questions:

What exactly is implicit bias?
How does it work?
Why is it important to understand and recognize it?
What can I do about it?

We will share a potluck dinner together, beginning at 5:30 pm. Bring a side or dessert to share.
Childcare is available with prior registration by calling 412.441.3800 x140.
