Sound of silky strings

Violin virtuoso Jaime Jorge.

By KATH GANNAWAY

THE amazing violin talent of Jaime Jorge is just part of his story.
Jorge, who will present a concert on Sunday, 10 July, at the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Warburton, shares his compelling story, along with his music, in a way that is entertaining, uplifting and inspirational.
Born in Cuba and raised in a communist country, Jorge has a passion for proclaiming the gospel through his music.
Acknowledged as a world-class violin virtuoso, he has played to audiences in 60 countries and released 16 albums.
His story includes opportunities lost and gained through his own and his family’s belief in God – including rejecting an opportunity to train in Moscow with some of the greatest musicians, and the rare opportunity to leave Cuba as a child.
In 1996 he left a promising medical career, choosing to devote himself to full-time music ministry.
The concert is free and will feature music ranging from favourite hymns to contemporary praise songs.
Warburton SDA Church is at 3490 Warburton Highway.
An offering will be collected for Bibles for Cuba.
