Camphill Village Kimberton Hills presents Astral Artists concert - January 30

Camphill Village Kimberton Hills presents a free concert on Monday, January 30, 2012 at 7:30 p.m.

Operatic performers Jonathan Beyer, baritone and Kristin Okerlund, piano, from Astral Artists, an organization that guides and promotes the nation’s most extraordinary emerging classical musicians, will offer an evening of music in Kimberton Hills’ Rose Hall. 

Astral Artists is a non-profit organization whose mission is to discover the most promising classical musicians residing in the United States, assist their early professional career development and present their world-class artistry to the community through concerts and outreach programs.  Camphill Kimberton is pleased to once again host these gifted musicians.  


Reviews of Jonathan Beyer include:

“The audience found its treat in a young, fresh-faced baritone named Jonathan Beyer. The 27-year-old appeared natural, plowing through an ambitious program. Beyer’s voice is big and virile. He produced tones evenly throughout the registers, showing no strain when pushing high and loud.”  -- The Washington Post

“Baritone Jonathan Beyer (Papageno) was the substantial voice that carried the piece. He brought proportion and context to difficult writing and maturity to his stagecraft. His Papageno was a model of articulation, but also of nuanced singing. An able comedian, he was musically arresting and brightly funny, his timing in both boosting the opera’s impact.” – Broad Street Review, Philadelphia

There is no charge for the concert, which is underwritten by the generosity of the Phoenixville Community Health Foundation.

We've got news - the "Bring and Buy" is coming back! For those who might not know, the Bring and Buy was a lovely thrift shop that we had years ago in the space that is now the new Camphill Cafe.  Stay tuned for more updates. We hope to open in February!

In the meantime, we are looking for donations of natural fiber clothing, household goods, toys and books. Please drop off items, during normal business hours, at the side door of Kepler. For a receipt for your donations, please contact Bernadette at bernadette@camphillkimberton.org.  Thank you!
