First Presbyterian Church and Purple Carrots Productions present Songs of Resistance and Resilience November 7 at 7:30 pm
First Presbyterian Church 174 North Mill Street Lexington, KY
Sponsored by The Josephine Ardery Foundation

The 9th annual Music for Mission tribute concert honors Songs of Resistance and Resilience, embracing songs from a wide range of groups that have used music throughout time to stand up for what they believe and to nurture their spirits. Many of the songs may be familiar but you’ll likely hear some music that is new to you. As emcee, Dr. Ron Pen will position the songs in historic and musical context.
The audience will be asked to donate to The Nest, a Lexington non-profit organization that helps prevent the abuse and neglect of children and adults by supporting families in crisis through education, counseling, advocacy, and resources.
Featured musicians:
The Swells, Lylak, The Brooks Giles Band, Sam Gleaves, Liam’s Fancy, Appalatin, One Lane Bridge, Julia Purcell and Jodie Koch, Elinor McCauley, Peyton Byrns, Dinah Wainwright, Rob Dread and the KMA, M. Lightsmith, The Appalachian Association of Sacred Harp Singers
