Synchronism Concerts
In-synch in spirit, mind, and musical insight, Synchronisms take chamber music into the First Unitarian Church, a venue small enough to maintain the intimate vibe, but big enough to let the sound come alive. The scene is casual, but spell-binding. Expect something divine to happen, but leave all the formality of heaven behind.
All Synchronism concerts begin at 7:30 PM at the First Unitarian Church at 4700 Grover Avenue.
