POSTPONED TILL SUMMER 2021

From Nick Page:

I am thrilled that we will be culminating our 30th Anniversary with a trip to Scotland.  I made my first visit there in 1978 and have been back several times.  My favorite experiences have always been making music with the Scottish who have strong singing hearts.  We’ll be performing a rich diversity of music from both the fall and spring seasons.  We will share music from Gospel, Jewish, Sufi, Folk, South African, and Pop traditions.  Included will be a song by an Edinburgh songwriter named Ali Burns, a distant relative of Robert Burns; and a song by India’s A. R. Rahman (gorgeous).
