Sun 1-6-08/ 4pm/LAUREN PELON PRESENTS "LISTENING FOR PEACE, A CONCERT" The concert will feature music and instruments from around the world, along with commentary on world peace (in the sense of ending wars), as well as the necessity of making peace with nature, the land - and the need to make some kind of peace within ourselves. Lauren tours internationally. She sings beautifully and she has an amazing number of exotic instruments that she has mastered. Per Jill Timmons, Director, Lively Arts Series, Oregon: " From Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion to the steppes of Russia and the hills of Kazakhstan, Lauren Pelon has entertained audiences with her story of music and instruments throughout history. Her virtuosity on so many instruments and her rich voice remind us of the power of music to transcend time and culture. " http://www.home.earthlink.net/~laurenpelon/

SOUTH TAMPA HOUSE CONCERT
FEATURING AMY MINARD
Date: Sunday, Dec. 9, 2007. Time: 5 p.m. Doors 4:30.
Amy is a lovely young woman who enhances the Tampa UU church services with her sweet personality and her music talents. She's a music student at USF who has recently purchased a new instrument and can use some assistance in paying for it. We hope the concert will be of benefit to her -- and we KNOW that it will be of benefit everyone who gets to experience whatever wonderful music program this talented & creative young musician puts together.
Here's a note from Amy: " After two years of searching, 27 trial
instruments, and countless music shops, I finally found my new viola. Then,
of course, the loan money fell through, so I'm throwing a benefit concert!
It'll be an intimate holiday concert where you can meet the new love of my
life. There will be light refreshments, and please feel free to bring
something to share. RSVP to Gloria. It's my dream to become a professional
viola player after I finish my Masters this spring -- thank you for helping
that dream come true! "
Free-will generous donations for Amy (so the love of her life won't be
repossessed) will be welcome..
