Peacemaking Scholarship Concert
Friday, November 15, 7:30pm in the UCCH Sanctuary
We are thrilled that David LaMotte will present the 2024 Peacemaking Scholarship Concert. The Boston Globe writes that his music “pushes the envelope with challenging lyrics and unusual tunings, but he also pays homage to folk tradition,” while BBC Radio Belfast lauds his “charm, stories, humour, insightful songs, sweet voice and dazzling guitar ability.” His most recent album, Still, features the number one song on Folk Radio in September, 2022 (September Me), and the album remained in the top twenty for six months. He has been a featured performer at top tier music festivals including the Kerrville Folk Festival, Merlefest, the Auckland Folk Festival (NZ), and the Australian National Folk Festival.
A freewill offering will be taken. Proceeds support the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Peacemaking Scholarship, which provides stipend to graduating seniors who aspire to a career in peacemaking.
