An Evening with Steve Schuch
11 Oxbow Pond Rd., Canterbury, NH
Concord Friends Meetinghouse
Saturday Dec. 2, at 7 p.m.
Award-winning multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter and storyteller.
Enjoy a lively night of music and storytelling from Steve Schuch, and help local refugees seeking asylum in our midst. Concord Friends Meeting presents songwriter and storyteller Steve Schuch on Saturday, Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. at the Concord Quaker Meetinghouse. Funds raised will go to support the Asylum Seekers Fund, which helps refugees in our community who have fled persecution abroad. Friends of Arnie Alpert may remember Steve from his performance at Arnie’s retirement fundraiser in March of 2020.
Steve Schuch has delighted audiences across the US and Europe. Fusing Celtic/Folk roots with a storyteller’s heart and humor, his artistry touches people on many levels. Irrepressible singing and riveting violin, whales, tales of mud season and black flies, are all part of his wide-ranging repertoire.
Credits include a Grammy nomination, PBS soundtracks, and the Parents’ Choice Gold Award for his Trees of Life recording. Steve’s musical story, A Symphony of Whales, received five national book awards and was featured on NPR’s “Performance Today.” Beyond his solo work, he has performed and recorded with Windham Hill guitarist and producer Will Ackerman, folk legend Pete Seeger, and his own Celtic ensemble, The Night Heron Consort.
