Reformation Festival: Music for Brass, Organ, and Choirs
Sunday, October 29, 4:00 PM
Freewill Offering
A festival exploring the hymns inspired by the reformers and the global voice of song that continues the reforming and transforming work of God. This festival is supported, in part, by generous support from the Hoffmeier/Keyl Church Music Endowment Fund at Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church.
Andrew McKnight, Folk
Sunday, November 19, 4:00 PM
Tickets: $15
Andrew’s solo performances are like one man theatre; the songs are woven together with humorous stories and poetic drama, and the musical soundscape traverses influences from Appalachia, tasteful slide and jazzy blues, feisty anthems, rustic folk, and even a little fancy flatpicking on a Carter Family tune. While his guitar is clearly the foundation for a concert, the touches of native American cedar flute, resonator guitar, djembe (African hand drum) and even mandolin add delightful and mesmerizing embellishments to the show.
