Join the Westmoreland Choral Society, directed by Dr. Tom Octave for our Spring Concert on Sunday, April 26, 2026 at 3 pm at First Presbyterian Church in Greensburg. You will hear Nancy Galbraith’s work titled “God of Justice”.
“God of Justice” was commissioned in 2004 by Providence Connections Inc.—the parent company of the Providence Family Support Center in Pittsburgh—to celebrate the center’s 10th year of service to struggling families in the city’s North Side neighborhoods.
In 2008 the work was performed at St. Procopius Abbey in Lisle, Illinois in a benefit concert for the Beit Benedict Peace Center in Jerusalem. The Benet Academy Chorus & Orchestra were conducted by Thomas Octave.
Galbraith’s composition is inspired by writings from “The Gospel According to St. Matthew”, the Central Conference of American Rabbis’ “The Gates of Prayer”, and the Catholic Bishops’ pastoral letter “Economic Justice for All”.
The central theme for all of the texts reflects the idea of compassion. Compassion is an idea which is universal to all religions. It will be accompanied by piano, organ and percussion.
The Youth Choir, directed by Kelsey Kotun will also perform other sacred songs. Join us for a beautiful afternoon!
