Inspired by Winter: an Evening of Music and Literature – Call for Artists January 27, 2022

The Literary Committee and Music Committee of ACCC invite you to be part of an evening of music and literature that will warm your heart through themes of Starry Nights, Winter Sundays, Home Blue, or Missing You.  If you would like to read or perform, choose one of those themes for yourself and create a musical piece or a literary work to be presented on January 27, 2022, at the Chaska Community Center.
The music or literary work does not have to include the words of the theme, just the sentiment or idea of it.  Music can be an instrumental or a song.  Writers and musicians will perform only one piece and should limit their piece to no more than 5 minutes.   If you have questions about the event, please contact Steve Kelzer kelzer2025@gmail.com or Susan Coultrap-McQuin coultrap@gmail.com .  We are looking forward to this evening of collaboration between musicians and writers.  We hope you will join us!
