The Sundays On The Hill Concert Series is delighted to again have Counterpoint grace Weston's historic and acoustically perfect Church on the Hill (Community Church) on Sunday, July 2, at 4 p.m.
The church is located on Lawrence Hill Road and is just a few steps up the hill from the Weston Village Green, off Route 100. Parking is available at the church and along the road and village green.
Counterpoint will explore songs of peace in various different languages and styles, including Pete Seeger favorites.
