Event
Holly Near in Concert
Singer, song-writer, and social activist Holly Near will give a benefit concert at First Church. You know Holly and her music from her many recordings, from her songs in our UU hymnal ("We Are a Gentle, Angry People," which Holly likes to call "Singing for Our Lives"), and from her appearance as the prestigious Ware Lecturer at the General Assembly held in Long Beach in June, 2005. She has appeared with many of the great popular singers of our day, from Pete Seeger to Harry Belafonte, and she has demonstrated with feminists Jane Fonda, Christine Lahti, and Eve Ensler. Holly will be in San Diego for one night only, and we are honored that she will be performing in our Meeting House. She will bring her own touring band, and our Associate Director of Music, Dana Decker has been invited to open for Holly with his Hillcrest Sunday ensemble. We will ask $20 in advance and $25 at the door for this special concert, with after concert expense going to support our Spirit Level grant for our congregation's new contemporary music program.
