It seems like everyone is talking about the South by Southwest Conferences and Festival taking place today through March 20 in Austin, Texas. The Sisters of Providence are proud to have our very own connection to this celebration of music, media, film and interactive technologies through our very own Christina Blust.Christina is the graphic designer/photography coordinator for the Sisters of Providence. You definitely know her work as the designer for our website and other online tools, such as this blog!
But her creative spirit isn't contained within this job. In her spare time, she is a singer-songwriter. She released a solo album, Sudden Amaryllis in 2009, and is the member of the Terre Haute based folk group Yearbook Committee, which just released their album, Sing Till You Die, last week.
Yearbook Committee was chosen from thousands of entries to perform at SXSW and will have their official showcase at 9 p.m. March 16 at Esther's Follies in Austin.
Many of Christina's songs from her solo album were inspired by her time as a Providence Volunteer Minister with the Sisters of Providence, as well as her other social justice work, her family and life.
One of Christina's contributions to Yearbook Committee's Sing Till You Die is "The Ballad of Eleanor Cecilia Bailly," a song about the life and history of Mother Mary Cecelia Bailly, the second general superior of the Sisters of Providence.
Congratulations, Christina!
