This Saturday evening December 15th @ 7pm Mount Zion Baptist Church in Snellville, GA will host The Desert Rose Rock Orchestra and their performance of "Here with Us."  This is an annual event that benefits the Haitian childrens orphanage called "Danita's Children."  Desert Rose is entering their 5th showing of there annual Christmas Concert and only the 2nd of Here with Us. 

DRRO is made up of musicians consisting of a pianist, founder Jim Poling, 2 electric guitarists Mark Kozma& Kennen Lock, bassist Mike Crumbley, drummer Jeff Williams, violinist Leah Jacobsen, 2nd pianist Pam Mize and synth player Morgan Medley.

As a precursor to the show this year, special guests Luna Strings, a 3 piece string instrument trio, will present a selection of Christmas carols before the main event.

As stated on DRRO'swebsite, founder Jim Poling says, "The Desert Rose Rock Orchestra (DRRO) exists for one purpose:  to use their God-given abilities to glorify God and share the Bible's true message of hope and salvation through Jesus Christ.  DRRO was formed as a band for concept musical works.  Although the musical genre is rock, the required standard and level of musicianship is high.  Woven in to the DNA of the Desert Rose Rock Orchestra is the aspiration to deliver a program of musical and theatrical excellence that would be worthy of our Savior.  It was never an intent to just play a set list of songs, without any real purpose. The purpose of DRRO is to present a multi-media production, with narration, video and slide visuals, lights and effects and powerful musical arrangements that proclaim truth and the message of the Gospel of salvation in a way that captivates the viewer and listener."

DRRO each year presents a unique Christmas rock show inspired by the music of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, but with a twist.  Intertwined in the music the lyrics share the story and gospel of Christ through a unique music and multi-media presentation that's both captivating and spiritual.

Admission to this event is free to the public with a love offering on behalf of Danita's Children taken up during the program.

If you don't have plans the Saturday evening make your way to this event and be blessed and uplifted by a musical journey you are sure to never forget.
