August 28, 2012 - Bill
Murk in Christian Concert
Bill
Murk is one of the premier Christian violinists today. His rare, sensitive
display of violin mastery and his fresh approach breaks old stereotypes and
inspires a new appreciation for this instrument while bridging the musical
gap between the generations. As a featured soloist at churches, conferences,
conventions, and crusades Bill has ministered in all fifty states and over
forty countries! Whether ministering for 50,000 men at Promise Keepers,
fiddlin' at the Grand Ole Opry, leading worship with Don Moen, or
accompanying and recording with such artists as Fernando Ortega, Amy Grant,
Steve Green, Point of Grace, Larry Dalton, Buddy Greene, 4Him, or The Gaither
Vocal Band,
Bill's
desire is to draw people into the presence of the Lord. Bill's life and
ministry nearly ended in December of 1999 when he and his daughter were hit
head-on by a speeding semi-truck. Their journey toward recovery is one filled
with both miracles and hardships. Tuesday matinee arrival 10:30am., Tuesday
evening arrival 5:00pm.
