Upper Charles Saturdays presents Jim Scott: September 27 at 8:00pm

The First Unitarian Universalist Church of Milford presents the next in a new series, Upper Charles Saturdays, with a special Evening of Jim Scott on Saturday, September 27 at 8 PM. The church is located at 23 Pine Street and is fully handicapped accessible from the rear parking lot. Proceeds will benefit the ministries of the church including the Community Supper and the Creative Children’s Center.

Jim Scott is an exciting acoustic guitarist, singer, and composer of powerful music that furthers the ideals of ecology, justice and peace. One of the rare musicians who have transcended stylistic boundaries, Jim has recorded or shared the stage with luminaries from the jazz, classical and folk music worlds. From Carnegie Hall and the Newport Jazz Festival with the Paul Winter Consort; to a concert at the end of the Great Peace March with folk legends Pete Seeger and Peter Yarrow, Jim’s travels have taken him around the world, recording in the gardens of Findhorn Scotland with jazz flautist Paul Horn, touring Nicaragua with Holly Near and performing in Australia for colleges and the Institute for Earth Education international conference. In his years as guitarist for the Paul Winter Consort, Jim led thousands in the song “Common Ground” and his own eco-anthem, “A Song For The Earth.” He was co-composer of the Consort’s monumental choral work, “Missa Gaia/Earth Mass,” and recorded “A Concert for the Earth” in the Great Hall of the United Nations. Jim will be joined by special guests including the minister of First UU Milford and professional singer, Maddie Sifantus.
