International classical guitarist Kenneth Meyer will perform a benefit concert for Emmaus House at St. Margaret’s on December 16th at 3:00 PM.

Come hear the intimacy of the classical guitar in our beautiful chapel and help raise money for the Emmaus House. Now in its 40th year, the House has provided temporary emergency shelter to over 12,000 women and children. Emmaus House provides a warm, comfortable home-like environment for the women and children. Guests are provided not only shelter, but meals, toiletries, and the love and encouragement needed to rebuild their lives.

The theme for the program is, “Songs with and without words: A survey of melody on the guitar.” As a performer, Ken has been heard in concert on four continents and on recordings for the Bridge, Frameworks, Innova, Summit, and Albany record labels. A dedicated teacher, he serves as a guitar professor at Syracuse University, Hamilton College, and recently started the Mohawk Valley Guitar School here in town. He is also a new resident of New Hartford and looks forward to meeting our community.
