Folk musician David Brahinsky and Friends is performing an outdoor concert of Neil Young, Buffy Sainte Marie, Leonard Cohen and Peter, Paul and Mary songs on Sunday, Oct. 8, at 3 p.m. at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church, 10 Chapel Road in New Hope.
Brahinsky is a singer, songwriter and guitarist who has been playing music from the folk tradition from the child ballads to Bob Dylan for over 30 years. One of the founders of the Roosevelt Arts Project, he has been the lead singer for The Roosevelt String Band for the last 25 years. He plays in solo concerts throughout New Jersey, New York and Vermont, but more often with a set of folk musicians and vocalists, David Brahinsky and Friends.
When he’s not singing, Brahinsky teaches comparative religion and philosophy at Bucks County Community College in Newtown. He holds a Ph.D. from Binghamton University (1976) and has been teaching a variety of courses in philosophy and world religions since 1969.
The vision of the program is to create a space where music can create a community which is open to all, regardless of income.
“New Hope is a community known for the arts and in a small way, we hope to build community through the arts,” said Rev. Michael Ruk, priest of St. Philip’s Church.
The concert is open to all with a free will donation at the door for the musician and outreach of the church. COVID protocols will be followed. In case of inclement weather, the concert will be indoors.
