• **** We were originally scheduled to have this show at the John Jay High School in Wappingers. Due to impending snow on Saturday and Sunday, January 17 & 18 the Wappingers School District decided to close all its buildings for the duration of the storm. We have rescheduled the show in a new location for Saturday, January 24 at the First Presbyterian Church of Beacon at 50 Liberty Street in Beacon NY. Ticket holders are being contacted with options. *****With just over 80 members, Beacon Rising has become a place for healing, connection, and community building - things we need now more than ever. This concert will be not only an inspiring event, but also an opportunity to lean into community connection through song. AND we're collecting non-perishable food items for the local food justice non-profit, Fareground. Please bring your items to the concert and a Fareground rep will be there to collect them and get them to folks in need.

Grab a snack from our bake sale. Meet your neighbors, enjoy the show, and sing along with us while supporting 2 beloved, local grassroots organizations, Compass Arts Creativity Project and Fareground!

Beacon Rising performs a variety of styles and genres with an eye toward interesting, powerful, and artistic literature. The repertoire comes from female, LGBTQIA+, and BIPOC composers and arrangers who highlight social and environmental justice, compassionate community, and radical self-love and healing.
