Solstice Concert for a Brighter New Year
On the darkest day of the year when daylight will be at its lowest ebb, join Bill Cohen and friends for an uplifting concert that looks ahead to the new year, its emerging sunlight, and its potential for joy and progress.
Bill will sing popular songs from the 1940’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and beyond that represent our hopes, dreams, and prayers for 2026. They’ll be songs that symbolize positive values of peace, community, gratitude, love, courage, justice, friendship, activism, and struggle. These are songs linked to a wide variety of folks –- Mama Cass, Pete Seeger, the Byrds, the Beatles, Stephen Foster, James Taylor, Carol King, Bob Dylan, Louis Armstrong, Judy Garland, and Peter Paul & Mary.
Fellow musicians Joanne Blum and Joe Lambert will add beautiful vocal harmonies, and Ann Fisher will add soothing counterpoints with her flute.
The reflective evening will also feature wise sayings about darkness and light. And the concert in the darkened sanctuary will be bathed in the glow of dozens of candles.
WHEN: Sunday December 21 at 7 pm
WHERE: North Broadway Methodist Church, 48 E.N. Broadway, 43214 (NEW VENUE!)
We’ll ask for $15 donations at the door, but all contributions will be welcomed. The musicians will be splitting the proceeds with a worthy cause: the Community Resource Center, which helps low-income seniors, youth, and families in the Clintonville area.
