Village Harmony brings its singing teens to Grace on Monday, July 23. This session group is led by Will and Lynn Rowan and special guest Artūras Sinkevičius from Lithuania. The dozen teen singers include two girls from Lithuania as well as talented teens from Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, Pennsylvania and Illinois. The eclectic concert program will include music from three continents and several centuries. Artūras will present ancient ritualistic Sutartines chants and lively Lithuanian folk songs accompanied by bagpipes, drums, and zither. These will be contrasted with music and dance from English visiting customs. The concert program will also feature upbeat Bulgarian dance-songs, 17th century American ballads and shape-note-tunes, lilting Medieval folk songs, and original compositions by Lynn and Will.
The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Arrive at 6 with a dish to share at our potluck dinner! Questions? Please call 326-4603. A suggested donation includes a $5-$15 sliding scale. Proceeds support the Village Harmony teen camp program.
