Now more than ever, we need music to fill our hearts, quiet our souls and make us smile. In this spirit, Linda Patterson returns to the stage with her passion for singing as a source of comfort, inspiration and joy.
With Patricia Norton on piano, Linda and friends will share songs that uplift, make you laugh, touch your heart; songs of love and courage, songs that surprise and delight. The program offers a rich variety of genres and styles from Stephen Sondheim to Paul Simon, Richard Rogers to Gustav Mahler, Everly Brothers to Irving Berlin, and more.
Come experience the warmth and joy of connecting around music, with opportunities to sing along if you like.
