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 our season mission partners: Arbor Youth Services, New Life Day Center, Civic Lex, and Neighbors Immigration.
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
