The evening will begin with a pot-luck dinner with the composer – a unique opportunity to socialize.

Then, at 7PM, the doors open to the community and we will perform and participate in an evening of multicultural singing, led by Nick.

 

“What’s amazing about Nick Page is that you don’t just listen to his concerts.  You EXPERIENCE them.  From the opening song, you are enveloped and involved in the power and joy of music from all over the world.   Nick is a master at orchestrating audience participation in the songs.   Don’t miss a chance to experience Nick Page.  You will have fun and be moved!” (Audience member)
