Last Blast

AT FIRST-PLYMOUTH UMTHNUAISTTIECS FALL 2020 ONLINE SEASON WATCH AT ABENDMUSIK.ORG

WELCOME FROM ARTISTIC DIRECTOR TOM TRENNEY Dear friends, Who would have ever imagined that our 2020-21 Abendmusik Season, our 49th, would be quite so unique?!  But what a blessing it is to have this opportunity, even in the midst of a pandemic, to gather-- albeit virtually--- to experience music that inspires.  We feel thankful that the generous support of our concert sponsors and donors enables us to share all of our fall programming online free of charge, and all of these online events will be offered as fundraisers for local non-profits who are particularly helping those in our community suffering through this difficult time. We pray that the music you will hear will become a stream in this desert and that your experience with Abendmusik today might bring some healing and restore some hope as we all find our way in the midst of this new wilderness. We will be back together again, but, until then, we are grateful that we can share this holy ground online as we continue to find ways to enrich community and inspire collaboration in this  beautiful neighborhood. Grace and peace, Tom Trenney
