Alistair Begg & Fernando Ortega

Fernando Ortega is a classically trained musician steeped in the Hispanic tradition of his New Mexico homeland. He is a gospel singer and songwriter. Orgeta was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico near the banks of the Rio Grande. He started piano at eight years of age. His family lived in Chimayo NM for eight generations, which has been cited as an influence on this music. It is from his heritage and classical training at the University of New Mexico where Ortega derives his unique sound, embracing country, classical, Celtic, Latin American, world, modern folk and rustic hymnody. Fernando and his wife Margie have a daughter Ruby Aveline.

The evening concert and program will take place on Thursday June 23rd at the First Congregational Church, 62 Centre Street, at 7:30pm. The event is open to the public and free of charge.  Spiritual Heritage Nantucket is a non-denominational group whose mission is to build and encourage the Christian community on Nantucket.
