“Be Encouraged” – Mosaic Harmony’s 32nd Annual Spring Concert
June 20, 2026 at 4:00 – 5:30 p.m.
Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Fairfax, Oakton, VA
Join us for an inspirational afternoon of “good news” music celebrating the resilience of the human spirit. Mosaic Harmony’s musical messages encourage us to lift our heads up high, even when times are tough. These songs testify that we are not alone, and that things WILL be better.
Hello Friends of Mosaic Harmony!
In the Rays of a Beautiful Sun
It’s June! Our 2025-2026 season of choir rehearsals will come to a close at the end of this month. However, the choir has not slowed down. We’re diligently and excitedly polishing songs in preparation for our upcoming Spring Concert on June 20th.
One of the songs we’ll perform is “Ooh Child” by Stan Vincent, which was originally recorded by “The Five Steps.” Edwin Hawkins arranged and recorded a later version of the song. The straightforward lyrics and upbeat melody assure us that, even when times seem bleakest, things will get better:
Ooh child, things are going to get easier,
Ooh child, things’ll get brighter
Someday, we’ll get it together and we’ll get it all done
Someday, when the world is much brighter.
Someday, we’ll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Someday, when the world is much brighter.
The song’s encouraging message aligns with the title and theme of Mosaic Harmony’s 32nd Spring Concert: Be Encouraged (get tickets here), which will take place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, at 4 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Fairfax (UUCF) in Oakton, Virginia. So, join us, in person and in spirit, as we celebrate when “we’ll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun.” Things ARE gonna get better – right now!

Who We Are
“Thirty-three years ago, Mosaic Harmony was founded as a musical opportunity to bridge a racially divided Fairfax County community. The genres selected for the repertoire were African American Spirituals, traditional, and contemporary gospel music due to the distinctive energy, positive messages, and unifying passion they provide. As a non-audition choir, we come together as ordinary people who love to sing good news, hope, and encouragement, especially during discouraging times.”—–David North, Director
Mosaic Harmony is a community choir where people find love and acceptance regardless of color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other differences. We celebrate diversity and inclusion, sharing our message through the powerful medium of song, and inspiring our audiences to embrace ALL people.
We sing inspirational music, much of it gospel, that acknowledges the interconnectedness of the human experience and seeks to unite a divided world.
