The Music of Talk with Tom Allen

With live musical examples (by harpist Lori Gemmell and violinist Sheila Jaffé) and the insight gained in a 40-year career combining the narrative and emotional connections between music and talk, Tom will bring your conscious mind's attention to the musical connection the human subconscious has been making for millennia.

Fairlawn Senior Choir Practice
JANUARY 15, 2026 -> Due to the winter storm and to ensure the safety of all, Choir has been cancelled this evening. The Senior Choir of Fairlawn Avenue United Church is an auditioned group of approximately 35 members, including an 8-member professional core. The Seniors sing every Sunday from September through June at the 10:30 am worship service, and are responsible for an introit, two anthems and all other service music. In order to cover that amount and level of music, often with a minimum of rehearsal time, choristers must have singing experience and excellent music/sight-reading skills. Practice is weekly on Thursday evenings.
