Trevor Dick
The electric violin is coloured bright blue, and when Guelph, Ontario musician Trevor Dick creates his music upon it, the impact on his audience is profound. Flying Bow Stirs Hearts Electric violinist Trevor Dick says he believes God has created all music, regardless of whether or not a song is "Christian."
Whether he's playing a familiar classic like "Amazing Grace" or contemporary Latin or Celtic-sounding melodies of his own creation, his music is worshipful, inviting listeners young and old to relax in to the experience. Toes tap and heads nod in time to the rhythm of his music; tears glisten on smooth and deeply lined cheeks alike.
"I believe all music's been created by God, regardless of whether or not it's perceived as a Christian song," Dick says when asked why he included secular selections such as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" when performing for a mostly Christian audience. "I believe that melody and inspiration were created by God. 'Somewhere Over the rainbow' is a beautiful song and it touches people. I've had 80-year-old women singing along softly the words to the music of that song."
Touching people with music is what Dick is all about. "When I'm playing for people and I can see that they're being touched; I really feel that that's my calling and part of my purpose."
