POSTPONED Concert by Candlelight with Monk Rowe and the Five Families Ensemble 2025
Tonight’s concert (Nov 28) has been postponed due to the snow storm. It will instead be held on Friday, Feb 20 at 8pm.
——–
The Five Families Ensemble, directed by Monk Rowe, stretches the boundaries of the traditional chamber ensemble by combining sounds from each of the four instrument groups (brass, woodwinds, percussion and strings) with a fifth contribution from the human voice.
Friday, Nov 28 at 8pm at This Old Church, Vernon Center.
As anyone who heard them previously at This Old Church will tell you, it will be a truly unique and memorable experience! Their repertoire ranges from Beethoven to Brubeck to the Blues, as well as original compositions. The Five Families Ensemble appeals to audiences of all ages by combining stellar musicianship with an engaging and welcoming attitude.
Tickets are $20, and will probably sell out. Reserve yours today! If you’d like to pay in person, please contact me using the contact page. You can also mail a check to This Old Church, PO Box 214, Vernon Center NY 13477.
