MONETT, Mo. — The multimedia performance of Seasons of the Heart was enjoyed by many community persons on November 7th, 8th & 9th at the Monett Missouri Stake Center, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This was its third year running and featured three musical artists, Scott Decker (singing Like a Child, Don’t Let Go), Cathryn Burt ( singing Peace in Christ, Not Too Far From Here ), and Brent Christianson (singing Savior Redeemer, Broken). All three concluded with the Genri song, Home.
Scott Decker, Joplin, grew up singing with his family, who sang, through the years, for a variety of church functions. Scott also sang while performing for the Neosho Community Theater. While attending Crowder College, Scott danced and sang with the show choir, where he met his wife, Missy. He also performed and sang in Grease and in Melodrama at Neosho Park.
Cathryn Burt, Granby, majored in vocal performance from Missouri Southern and has taught choir at East Newton for the last 23 years. Music has been a lifelong passion for her.
Brent Christianson, is now in Idaho; however, Brent raised his family in Grand Junction, Colorado. While there, Brent performed in Fiddler on the Roof, Sound of Music, The King and I, Music Man, Shenandoah, Howard Keel, and many others.
When thanked for coming from Idaho to perform in Seasons of the Heart, Brent said, “I love doing this kind of stuff.”
Many thanks goes to the technical crew, Scott Westwood, Carthage, Shawn Nugent, Carthage, and Joseph Holmes, Monett.
Seasons of the Heart presented such questions as “Where did we come from?” “What is courage?” “How do we hold onto hope?” “Where can we find peace?” and “Is there a God?” With beautiful, flowing videos and narration, songs, and personal interviews, the questions of life were aesthetically answered.
