Michael Card to Perform at EMU

Leading Christian artist Michael Card will perform at Eastern Mennonite University Sunday, Nov. 9, at 7 p.m. in Lehman Auditorium.

An accomplished musician and songwriter, Card is best known for the tedious research and biblical scholarship which support the themes running through his songs.

His latest album, "A Fragile Stone," is an exploration of the dynamic, contradictory life of the Apostle Peter. After years of careful study of the New Testament, Card has written from the first-person perspective of Peter, detailing the apostle's growing realization that despite his own character flaws, Jesus did and would use Peter to accomplish His purposes.

Though the new collection contains music reminiscent of past Card favorites, "A Fragile Stone" explores new territory with songs featuring world-renowned banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck and a handful of other celebrated musicians.

General admission to the concert is $15, available from the EMU box office at 540-432-4582.Tickets at the door will be $20.
