Follen Concerts for a Cause Presents a Recital by Thomas Stumpf

March 20, 2010 at 8:00 p.m.

The recital will be on Saturday, March 20th at 8 p.m. and is the second of this season’s Follen Concerts for a Cause. The cause on this occasion is the Louise Curtis Fund, which helps to fund special expenses of the Follen Church music program. Most recently it underwrote the establishment of the excellent new A/V system at Follen, which has already produced many superb recordings of services and other events held in our newly refurbished (and acoustically practically perfect) Sanctuary.

A heartfelt welcome to Debra Zagaeski, our new Director of Religious Education! She brings to us her experience as the DRE at First Parish Church Unitarian Universalist in Watertown and as church administrator at Hancock Church in Lexington, as well as a depth of life experience—including being the mother of five remarkable children—that has forged her into someone you will surely want to work with and get to know. We are delighted she has joined us on our journey to nurture, sustain, and model a loving community for our children and youth.
