Soul Searching with Dick Sisto

St. Andrew's Episcopal Church

Jazz artist and composer Dick Sisto will speak about his spiritual journey in composing the music for the documentary film, "Soul Searching: The Journey of Thomas Merton." Dick will perform passages from "Soul Searching" on his vibraphone. He will be accompanied by pianist Steve Allee.
Sisto has a long distinguished career that has taken him from Chicago to California to Texas and Kentucky, performing throughout the U.S. and five tours in Great Britain. His career includes composing music for two masters among contemporary American poets, Gary Snyder and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Louisvillians and Kentuckians have gotten to know his music through appearances with his trio and quartet at various venues, including jazz festivals, clubs, churches, and workshops. He leads a meditation at noon on the first Wednesday of every month at Christ Church Episcopal Cathedral. An adjunct professor at the University of Louisville, he is also known as the host of two popular NPR public radio shows and as director of music at the Seelbach Hotel.
This event is free and open to the public.
