Eric Sarwar, PhD Student, sings music with his harmonium after reflecting on the persecution Christians face in Pakistan.

“Consolation for the Suffering” was a concert of music and narrative for the many who suffer for their faith. Produced by Brehm Center's Fred Bock Institute of Music at Fuller Seminary on February 11, 2018, this unique music event amplified the voices of the daily persecuted and suffering Christians around the world. Newly composed music for choir, orchestra, and soloists was interspersed with video interviews produced by FULLER studio.

Choirs from Vanguard University and St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church of Newport Beach joined conductor James L. Melton and conductor/composer Edwin M. Willmington, composer-in-residence at Fuller Seminary and director of the Brehm Center’s Fred Bock Institute of Music, to create the evening of listening, contemplation, and prayer.
