Music

Time.  It’s nearly impossible to define.  We cannot control it.  But we treasure it.  We seek it.  Yet, sometimes, we waste it, kill it, and ignore it.  Memories of past times can comfort us or haunt us.  

The mysterious intertwining of time and memory.  That’s the theme of Bill Cohen’s concert, taking place at North Church UCC at 2040 W. Henderson Road 43220 on Saturday May 9 at 7 pm.  

Our spring concert, STAND UP!, is finally here — and there’s still time to grab your tickets.

This is more than a concert. It’s a chance to come together in a moment that feels heavy for so many, and to experience the power of collective voices rising in resilience, hope, and connection.

We’ll be performing an inspiring lineup of music, including “What Happens When a Woman,” “Warrior,” “Justice,” and “Be the Change,” along with “Dance the Wind,” a moving commissioned piece created by members of our own chorus.
