Do you like to dance? Do you enjoy social activities that include movement and live music? Then Contra Dance is for you! Enjoy the music of the Highly Paid Professionals with guest caller Stacy Rose.

Northumbrian smallpiper Dick Hensold and bassoonist Rosalind Buda perform a rollicking blend of traditional Celtic tunes, early music, and original pieces, lushly arranged in an innovative and musical style—and all delivered with technical flair, joyful ease, and a variety of instruments. Both musicians have spent years playing the traditional music of Scotland, Ireland, Northumberland, and Brittany, and were highly-trained classical musicians before that, so the performance is informed by a deep study of the music's history, and infused with a sensitive musicality.
The show highlights the virtuosity of the performers: Dick is the leading Northumbrian smallpiper in North America, and Rosalind’s facility on bassoon (M.M., New England Conservatory) has to be heard to be believed.

In two decades on the road Jeffrey Foucault has become one of the most distinctive voices in American music, refining a sound instantly recognizable for its simplicity and emotional power. With a string of critically acclaimed studio albums, he’s built a brick-and-mortar international touring career and a devoted following, one that includes luminaries like Van Dyke Parks, Greil Marcus, and Don Henley.

In September of 2024 Jeffrey Foucault released THE UNIVERSAL FIRE, A series of high-voltage performances cut live in one room, the album is both a working wake – Foucault lost his best friend and drummer Billy Conway, to cancer in 2021 – and a meditation on the nature of beauty, artifact, and loss.

Augmenting Foucault's all-star band with members of Calexico and Bon Iver (drummer John Convertino and producer/saxophonist Mike Lewis) THE UNIVERSAL FIRE sets Conway’s death against the massive 2008 fire at the Universal Studios lot in California that destroyed the master recordings of some of our bedrock American music, to interrogate ideas about mortality, legacy, meaning, and calling.

You are invited to a patriotic concert that celebrates the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and honors our country’s soldiers through music.

To remember and honor our Veterans we’ve included Armed Forces Salute, The Navey Hymn “Eternal Father Strong to Save”, John Williams’ Hymn to the Fallen and of course a John Philip Sousa's March, Semper Fidelis.
