"Songs of Resilience" Concert

Join award-winning activist duo Emma’s Revolution and folk performer Annie Patterson—co-creator of the popular songbooks Rise Up Singing and Rise Again—for an concert celebrating hope and harmony Sunday, January 28, starting 7 p.m. at Bethany.

The concert—held in commemoration of acclaimed folksinger/composer Pete Seeger’s 100th birthday—will feature tunes Seeger wrote or performed along with new musical selections. Many of the songs are included in a new Seeger sing-along songbook— If I Had a Hammer. Pete Seeger was one of the great song leaders of all time, igniting the hearts of those who sang with him.

Purchase tickets using this link or at the door for a suggested donation of $25. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. For details, contact Joe Offer at (530-878-8419. The concert is co-sponsored by The Gathering, an arts ministry of Bethany Presbyterian Church, and the Sacramento Family Song Circle.
