House Concert July 5 with Kurt Hansen and Ken Hardin

The bad news: our sold-out February house concert was cancelled due to snow. The good news: it has been rescheduled in a larger venue so those who weren't able to purchase tickets to the original concert can be accommodated.

What a voice! Kurt (baritone) is on hiatus from the Broadway touring show “Mamma Mia!” where he was the lead understudy for all three fathers and was formerly on Broadway in Miss Saigon until its closing in 2001. A very good friend & former voice student of Ken’s, these two performers will delight us in a Broadway showtune extravaganza! Ticket price includes Lucchesi wines, fabulous noshes and desserts, and fun conversation.

Ken Hardin Trio

Bring a lawn chair or blanket, a picnic, and your dancing feet - we’ll have a really good time! Silent auction items, pledge items (last year a pledge sent Ken diving into the pond!), and a few surprises here and there - great fun! At 14165 Talking Pines Road in Grass Valley (off Hwy 174 4.3 miles from the Brunswick “Y”—look for the TCCA sign!). Gates open at 1pm. No smoking on the property.

Free Admission…donations gratefully accepted.
