Who: Scott Cossu, pianist with John Croarkin flutist
What: Concert
When: 6:30pm Wednesday May 28th
Where: United Presbyterian Church, 2360 Longwood Drive, Reedsport
Cost: FREE!
Scott is an internationally known, composer, pianist and recording artist. He was up front when New Age was just beginning over 30 years ago. He was one of the first Windham Hill Artists to join with founder Will Ackerman and Alex Degrassi, in their new label out of Palo Alto, California. In those early days, Scott toured with his label mates as they forged the way for the many artists that would follow in that genre.
Scott affectionately calls his music Heavy Mental or Cosmic National Geographic, even though he is one of the grandfathers of the New Age scene; he was labeled a "jazz luminary of the future", by Billboard Magazine. Much of Scott's work exhibits departures from the New Age field and includes a melodic blend of jazz, classical and ethnic influences.
The concert is in memory of a recently deceased relative of The Coyne Family.

"There is a kindness in Love: but Love and kindness are not coterminous, and when kindness (in the sense given above) is separated from the other elements of Love, it involves a certain fundamental indifference to its object, and even something like contempt of it. Kindness consents very readily to the removal of its object — we have all met people whose kindness to animals is constantly leading them to kill animals lest they should suffer. Kindness, merely as such, cares not whether its object becomes good or bad, provided only that it escapes suffering. As Scripture points out, it is bastards who are spoiled: the legitimate sons, who are to carry on the family tradition, are punished [Hebrews 12:8]. It is for people whom we care nothing about that we demand happiness on any terms: with our friends, our lovers, our children, we are exacting and would rather see them suffer much than be happy in contemptible and estranging modes. If God is Love, He is, by definition, something more than mere kindness. And it appears, from all the records, that though He has often rebuked us and condemned us, He has never regarded us with contempt. He has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense." - C.S. Lewis, from The Problem of Pain
"The most terrible poverty is loneliness, the feeling of being unloved." - Mother Teresa
