Fundraising Music Concert for Emmanuel College Sang Chul Lee Scholarship

Korean Traditional Songs (pansori, gayageum), Trumpet, Youth Quartet Chamber, Jazz and Piano by Emmanuel College professors, and classic baritone song.

This music concert is going to be special because we are celebrating the 100th birth year of the late Very Right Rev. Dr. Sang Cheol Lee. This concert is also part of the United Church’s Centennial year celebration. We have good reasons to gather and mark these anniversaries with the fundraising effort.

Over the course of almost 100 years, scholarships have been awarded to Korean students at Emmanuel College with the generous support from the United Church of Canada. The first Korean scholarship recipient was awarded to Rev. Jaerin Moon in 1928, the same year that Emmanuel College opened its doors for the first time. Since admission of Rev. Moon in 1928, there have been many Korean graduates who have made admirable contributions to theology, ministry, social activism around democratization, peace, gender justice, and unification issues in Korea, within the United Church of Canada, and around the world. Since its inception, Korean descent students continue to be among the biggest ethnic minority group at Emmanuel and Toronto School of Theology. Yet, there is no assigned scholarship for Korean students as of yet. As a way of remembering our history, strengthening this long relationship and carrying a beautiful legacy, we would like to host this fundraising event for establishing Korean scholarship at Emmanuel College. Your support and generosity will be deeply appreciated.
