Spiritually Motivated

Spiritually Motivated, an off-shoot of the Adult Choir at St. Augustine Catholic Church in Austin, began as an ecumenical choral roup in 1997 under the guidance of choral director Jan Muzik. After a hiatus, the group recently was reborn when Jim King, of Eigth Avenue Recording in Austin, enlisted former members Michael Veldman, Erin Schumacher, Faye Bollingberg, Brendhan Wagner, Brian Bawek and Jan Muzik to lend their talents to create an album that gives all of its proceeds to cancer research.
“This album is the result of their efforts and compassion for such an important cause,” King said. “We’re just proud of The Hormel Institute and all that they stand for.”

Members of the public are invited to come out to The Hormel Institute on Wednesday, November 27, 2013 in the afternoon to purchase a new CD created by a local group of well-known singers to benefit the Institute’s world-renowned cancer research.

Copies of the new CD “A Journey Together” by the group Spiritually Motivated will be available for sale from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday in The Hormel Institute’s main lobby. CDs will be sold for $15 each, with proceeds going to support cutting-edge cancer research at The Hormel Institute.

“This album is the result of their efforts and compassion for such an important cause,” King said. “We’re just proud of The Hormel Institute and all that they stand for.”

Copies of the CD also will be sold at Berg’s Nursery; Caribou Coffee; Coffee House on Main; Jim’s Market Place Foods; Philomathian; St. Augustine Church; Sterling Main Street; and The Hardy Geranium.
