Maria Fonseca captures the dynamism and grace of Afro Cuban dancers encountered during travels to Cuba with her dramatic photographs. Larry Terry, also a talented saxophone player, engages in drawing as a meditative practice, capturing the rhythm, texture and color of music in abstract oil pastels. TJ Reynolds paints portraits of friends, family, and local and legendary leaders to create powerful tributes to character, beauty, and achievement.

SAT | SUN - DEC 9th & 10th

This season’s concert will be a fun-loving intergenerational twist to the fabulously singable tunes of the Traveling Wilburys! Come lend your voice to the rich sound of Family Folk Chorale’s varied voices blended joyfully in harmony.

“With such an array of rich harmonies among friends and palette of solo voices–a full spectrum from Roy Orbison’s stratospheric crooning to the grit of Dylan and Petty–it is easy to hear the Traveling Wilburys music as a natural, stylistic match for what the Family Folk Chorale does.  These are great songs for a heart-full and energizing afternoon of singing, dancing, enjoyment!”  –Chris Eastburn, Family Folk Chorale Artistic Director

Cantilena - a women's chorale welcomes concert-goers to an afternoon of healing and hope as described by the chorus’s director, Elinor A. Armsby:

Our program, entitled Peace Within, Peace Without, explores the idea of Peace both as it relates to conflicts between nations and as it relates finding peace within ourselves as individuals. Through works like Chilcott’s “Peace Mass” and Patriquin’s timely arrangement of “On the Mountain,” a traditional Ukrainian folk song, in addition to works by Ola Gjeilo, Joan Szymko and others, the music moves from internal reflection and calm to outward calls for harmony and unity between peoples. As the cries for peace in our world crescendo, we invite you to take refuge from the distressing news around us and take this restorative journey with us.

Immediate Family takes up the story where “The Wrecking Crew” ended, taking a deep dive through some of the most famous and influential session musicians from the 1970s.

Full Circle

Award Winning Documentary

In 2014, Trevor Kennison’s life was forever altered by a broken back - for worse and for better, in equal measures. Barry Corbet, an intrepid skier, mountaineer, explorer, filmmaker, and Jackson Hole legend, broke his back in a helicopter crash in 1968.

Frustrated by a pre-ADA culture that did not accept or support the disabled, Barry reinvented himself, becoming a seminal leader in the disability community.

FULL CIRCLE follows Trevor on a path towards post-traumatic growth in parallel with Barry, 50 years later.
