"Carols at the Spinet …and the Djembe …and the Dulcimer" -- Dec 3, 4, 9, 10

Please join the members of InVocation
for our sixth annual Christmas Concert Series:

“Carols at the Spinet

…and the Djembe

…and the Dulcimer”

Our sixth annual Christmas Concert Series is designed to wrap you in the aural equivalent of comfort food…with a little spice thrown in! Almost everything in this concert has likely been sung in a living room somewhere in the world; in fact, we’ll have a sing-along of our own, joined by harpist Tonya Anderson. Come in out of the snowstorm and warm up with some carols and folk songs in both fresh and familiar arrangements — the musical equivalent of hot chocolate with a bit of cinnamon schnapps mixed in! Mufflers and mittens optional.

Concerts are free and open to the public, but proceeds from free-will offerings will benefit
this season’s charity partner, The Emergency Foodshelf Network.
