It will be a great fall of musical exploration! The Hopewell United Methodist Church will launch a series of musical performances starting in September, drawing on individuals and groups that have incredible musical abilities but may be undiscovered talents in the area.
Join us as we explore different musical styles and sensibilities.
All shows are in the church sanctuary (we have great acoustics!) and are from 7 pm – 9 pm. Tickets are $20 (suggested donation) and will be available at the door. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Good Music for A Good Cause, Too!
A portion of the proceeds will go toward assisting children with special needs get scholarships to attend a week at the Elks Camp Moore.
The line up includes:
