About Us
The Devine Music website first appeared in 2001, advertising Recordings, Events and Ecumenical Music. This ecumenical dimension comes from Teresa Brown’s experience and commitment to Christian unity, which first led her to form a group called Seeds of Unity back in 1996 and to direct music at events which encourage Christians from different churches to celebrate their faith together.
In the Millennium year Teresa animated the singing of 10,000 people at Pentecost 2000 celebrations in a park in Northampton, England, forming an ecumenical choir and orchestra for the occasion. She then spent 3 months in Israel doing voluntary work in Jerusalem and gathering material for her next recording project, In Search of Peace. During that time she visited Egypt and led music for Mass at the top of Mount Sinai, in a Bedouin tent and on the shores of the Red Sea.
Since the release of In Search of Peace, Teresa has played her own violin music with backing tracks at many different venues, including the Edinburgh Fringe in 2003, and the annual New Dawn Conference at Walsingham. She has directed music for retreats and worked as a freelance Christian musician for various organisations including Churches Together in England, the Royal School of Church Music and the Sion Catholic Community for Evangelism.
The new-look website aims to make it easier to buy resources online. Look out for some new church music, for the new translation of the Roman Missal, coming soon.
