Friday the 13th is your lucky night!

Just wrapped up a rehearsal with my better two-thirds, Kathy and Patty, and now it's on to my beer course! But first...

A reminder that a week from today is Friday the 13th, and that is the very day that you'll fall in love all over again with the Starry Mountain Singers!

And guess who else?
Orfeia!


And there's more?
The Shapenote Sisters!


The purest of instruments is the human voice and on May 13, three groups will make it clear. Starry Mountain Singers have a devoted following for their energetic renditions of traditional music from Appalachia, early New England, American gospel, Bulgaria, Caucasus Georgia, and Corsica. Orfeia is an all‐woman Slavic chorus whose repertoire includes ancient and modern adaptations of Bulgarian folk songs, sublime Slavonic, Georgian and Sephardic chants, and playful love songs from throughout the Balkans. Finally, the Shapenote Sisters are charming emissaries of Sacred Harp, a uniquely American tradition of participatory “singings,” who also like to dip into early country, old‐time and other sister‐style harmony.

$15 general/ $10 CA members and students
The Shapenote Sisters and Orfeia open the show.
