Wonderful concert last Sunday featuring students, guitarists, and the Senasqua Wind Quintet! All proceeds were donated to Kids in Crisis. Thanks to all who participated and attended!

This Sunday's Hilltop Music Collective concert (2/24, 3pm at 2nd Congregational Church of Greenwich) features the music of the Senasqua Winds!

Senasqua Winds was formed in 2007 by musical friends that all live in or near Croton-on-Hudson, NY, ancient home of the Kitchawank tribe of Native Americans. Part of our village's Hudson River shoreline is a marshy area which was called "Senasqua" by the Kitchawanks. The natural beauty of this very special part of the world nourishes our spirits and inspires our music.

Don't forget to mark your calendars for this exciting Hilltop Music Collective concert! All proceeds will be donated to Kids in Crisis (www.kidsincrisis.org).
