Special note: Dr. Stephen Cook, Old Testament Professor at Virginia Theological Seminary, recently published a commentary on Daniel for the Baker Commentary on the Old Testament Prophetic Books series. Dr. Cook will preach and teach on Sunday, Nov. 29, and will attend the Folk Opera "Daniel's Ballad" on December 2.

St. Simon’s on the Sound Episcopal Church in Ft. Walton Beach will host the musical presentation of Daniel’s Ballad, A Folk Opera on Wednesday, December 2, 2026 at 5:30 pm in the church’s nave. The event is free with a love offering to benefit St. Simon's Outreach Ministries.

This lively musical offering draws the audience into the fascinating stories in the Old Testament book of Daniel. The music and songs revisit the events of the exiled Judeans as recorded in chapters 1-6 and reach further into Daniel’s dreams and visions as described in chapters 7-12
