Join us on Sunday, September 14, at 3pm for a benefit concert for disaster relief.
The Riverside Renaissance Swing Band will be playing a benefit concert at the church on September 14 at 3 PM to help raise funds for disaster relief. The afternoon will feature the best swing hits from the 1940s, and an energetic ensemble perfect for dancing and reminiscing.
One-hundred percent of the funds raised will go to United Church of Christ Disaster Relief Ministries, which partners with local aid organizations on the ground where domestic and international disasters strike. Funds raised from this concert will most likely benefit victims of Los Angeles fires and flooding in Texas.
The Riverside Renaissance Swing Band is a north-shore 18-person ensemble performing music from the 1930s to today, including many styles, like swing, big band, country, rock, and polka. The group rehearses in Peabody, Mass., under the direction of Henry Lucas.
The concert is a part of the church’s Sanctuary Arts programming, an initiative to partner with local musicians, artists, theatre, and arts organizations to host arts and humanities programming in its historic 112-year-old sanctuary in the heart of downtown Reading.
The suggested donation for the concert is $20.
