Our 2020 Concert Series

April 11th – Earth Day Celebration – Pattrick Hutchinson with the Vox Hunters

Patrick Hutchinson is an internationally recognized performer and teacher of the Irish Uilleann pipes. Armand Aromin and Benedict Gagliardi are seekers and singers of old songs, cultivators of local music, and chronic multi-instrumentalists. They are touted as strong tradition-bearers in their generation, and their genuine affinity for the music is evident in the emotion they draw from it. With a pair of oft-harmonizing voices tastefully garnished with fiddle, free-reeds, and tenor guitar, The Vox Hunters offer an all-natural connection to the living tradition of folk music. Their three mantras are: “Sing Local”, “Sing Often”, and “Roger Williams for President”. This is the fiftieth anniversary of Earth Day. Celebrate the wonders of the natural world with us. Get Tickets
