The Hillcrest Baptist Church invites community members to attend a free Christian concert, featuring Jaime Jorge, a world-class violinist, on Easter Sunday, March 31, at 10 a.m.  
The concert will feature music ranging from favorite hymns to contemporary praise songs.
Jaime has played in a multitude of settings from high school auditoriums to Carnegie Hall. He has played in 40 countries on five continents, and has released 16 albums.
Besides being an accomplished musician, Jaime has an inspiring story to share.  Born and raised in communist Cuba, he was offered many opportunities – including offers to study in Moscow with some of the greatest musicians of our time – if only he and his family would renounce their belief in God. They refused.  When Jaime was ten, miraculously, his family was given the opportunity to leave the country.
In 1996, Jaime left medical school and a promising medical career to devote himself to full-time music ministry.  
The concert will be held at Hillcrest Baptist Church at 353 Bus Station Rd. in Yazoo City, MS.  
The concert is free and is designed for people of all ages.  Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first served basis.
