The Cherry Tree Music Co-op will present its Farewell Concert on
October 26, at the Calvary United Methodist Church at 4740 Baltimore
Avenue (on the SE corner of 48th Street and Baltimore Avenue).
Performers will include Jay Ansill, Saul Broudy, Rolly Brown, Priscilla
Herdman, Ted Estersohn, Ken Ulansey, and Caryl P. Weiss, plus other
musicians who have been an important part of the Cherry Tree
family over the years.
Doors will open at 7:00, and the music will start at 7:30. Tickets are
$10; $5 for kids, students, seniors and others with limited incomes;
and $15 for special supporters.
As you may know, the Cherry Tree decided to close its doors after 28
years of presenting music in West Philadelphia. This evening will be
both a farewell and homecoming for many of the past performers and
volunteers who were an integral part of the Tree during that time. The
concert is being held at the home of the Cherry Tree's successor, the
Calvary Center for Culture and Community.
The Calvary Center is located at 48th Street and Baltimore Avenue. The
34 subway-surface trolley stops at the door. A free, well-lit, and
city-maintained parking lot is located on the 4700 block of
Baltimore.
We regret to report that the venue is not handicapped-accessible at
this time.
For advance tickets, directions, or other information, please visit
the Calvary Center's website at www.crossroads.calvary-center.org or
call 215-729-1028 (215-724-1702 after 5:00 on concert night).
If you are a former Cherry Tree volunteer, we invite you to get in
touch, as we are looking into the possibility of a reunion in the
future. Please send email with your contact information to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and we will keep you posted as information
becomes available.
