Sharing a night with Cindy Kallet and Grey Larson

We are thrilled to be sharing an evening with Cindy Kallet and Grey Larson. You’ll hear Cindy's sparkling original songs, distinctive settings of traditional Irish music, Scandinavian fiddle duets, old-time fiddle and guitar tunes from southern Indiana, and new music that Cindy and Grey are inventing together.

Their music is deeply rooted in folk traditions, and interwoven with the Renaissance and Baroque counterpoint in which both Cindy and Grey were immersed while growing up. Included are vocal duets, guitar, Irish flute, Irish alto flute, tin whistle, concertina, harmonium, and duet fiddling, and plenty of stories that put the music into a personal context. Together, they weave songs and tunes of vibrant color and rich texture. You can hear some of the music, read reviews, etc. at Cindy and Grey's website. Info on the concert: 503-788-2333 or Tasha@kendalin.com.  

Tickets: Sliding scale $12-$20, no one will be turned away due to lack of funds.

“Season of Lights Concert” to Benefit JFCS Emergency Aid

The winter holiday season is traditionally filled with light, family, fun, and friendship.  Unfortunately, for many families, just taking care of basic survival needs has become such a struggle that there are few, if any, resources available to devote to holiday festivities.

In order to brighten the holidays for families with few resources to spare, Peter Zisa and friends are proud to present the “Season of Lights Concert” as a FREE gift to the community. In lieu of charging for admission, they are asking attendees who can afford to do so to instead make a donation to the Jewish Family & Child Service emergency aid fund, which provides emergency financial assistance to individuals and families struggling to make ends meet.

The Season of Lights Concert will be held on Saturday, December 5th at 7:30 p.m. at the First Christian Church, downtown at the corner of SW Park & Columbia. Free underground parking is available.  Concert performers will include:

  • Amy & Jeff Shapiro
  • John Dodge
  • Elizabeth Eklund
  • LeeAnn Sterling
  • Peter Zisa
  • Kendálin (voice, violin, viola, bass, flute, percussion)
  • Thousand Waves (flute, koto, and classical guitar)

All the Season of Lights performers have generously donated their talent, time, and resources in order to raise emergency aid funds for needy families, and to make sure that no one misses out on a holiday concert due to lack of financial resources. Truly, both gifts of light and love in a time of darkness.
