Please join the members of InVocation for our fourth annual Spring Concert Series:
Living Green is…
…a beautiful, grassy landscape full of life in all its forms.
…practicing good stewardship of the planet and its resources.
…a way of approaching your life so that you’re always learning something new.
…seeking out that which celebrates and encourages life, love, and growth.
…InVocation’s spring program, which celebrates all of the above!
Living Green is…
...an adventure, as is this program! The music springs from lots of different kinds of growth, love, and beauty — including songs from the great choral tradition, the close harmonies of jazz, and the plaintive melodies of folk songs — a mix of some “recycled” old favorites, together with some new ones.
Please come and share the adventure with us,
while supporting this year’s charity partner, House of Charity.
