"Beasts of the Northern Wild" -- March 14, 15, 20, 21

Please join the members of InVocation
for our eighth season of song:

“Beasts of the Northern Wild”


Animals...

They can be fierce and funny; wild and familiar; sophisticated symbols and utterly honest companions. All of those and more will be present in InVocation’s spring concert program: fiery dragons, playful dogs, soaring birds, lumbering elephants, stalking panthers, purring housecats, chirping crickets, mooing cows, sleek seals and prickly hedgehogs... not to mention whining mosquitoes (really!) But no fear — we have bug spray!

We also have a wonderful charity partner, Safe Hands Animal Rescue, who are dedicated to saving lives and finding forever homes for stray, abandoned, and surrendered dogs from high-kill shelters. Come to a concert; we’ll do our best to inspire you, move you, and make you laugh. And lots of animals will benefit from the free-will offering.

So, come... Bring your friends, parents, kids... Enjoy the music and help save a life!

Sincerely, The furry force behind InVocation:

Linus, Lucy, Rerun, Tomo, Carlos, Pedro,
Henri, Josie, Cora, Pip, Danno, Pooh, Tigger,
Herbie, Dixie, Gunnar, Lily, Zoe, and Remus


Concerts are free and open to the public.
Proceeds from free-will offerings at concerts will benefit
this season’s charity partner: Safe Hands Animal Rescue
