Lost And Found: An Evening of Original Music by John Mackenziein Celebration of People, Place, and Community
Saturday February 22, 7 pm
Peacham Congregational Church and Meeting House
Why is it that really beautiful things make us cry? How can a piece of music open doors to the heart? Why is a sense of place so important to so many of us? And what happens to us when our words fail? Having moved to Peacham from the U.K. over 20 years ago, John Mackenzie always knew there was something special about this beautiful, green corner of the world, a cross between the England-Wales border-country and the foothills of the Alps, a region settled by Scots and the French and characterized by vibrant, tightly-knit communities. In short: a place to call home. After the life-altering floods of July 2024, John and his family found themselves both born (and borne) again by the incredible support they received from the Peacham community, as well as from friends further afield. This support took many forms--from financial to practical to emotional to musical: by giving John access to a piano in the library basement in the weeks following the flood, Susan Smolinsky and her team at Peacham Library laid the groundwork for emotional and creative recovery, and planted the seed for a celebration, through words, images, and original music, of Peacham's enduring community.
This special community event is scheduled for Saturday February 22nd at 7 pm in Peacham Congregational Church. All are welcome and donations will support the Peacham Library. Following the performance, join us for a reception in the social hall.
