NEW! Winter Concert Series at the Richardson House!

Doors open at 6:30 pm, music and conversation with the musicians will start at 7:00 pm. ADVANCE TICKETS will be required, as seating is limited! Tickets will go on sale one month before each concert. Here's the line-up:
January 5: Robert Tyl Langhorne resident Bob Tyl is a talented acoustic guitarist, composer, and teacher. He will kick off our new Winter Concert Series with a program of original music.

February 2: Hannah Rose Nicolas and Gregg Mervine Violist/vocalist/songwriter Hannah Nicholas and multi-instrumentalist/songwriter/composer Gregg Mervine have collaborated on several concerts and recordings in the past few years, including innovative interpretations of Bach, Hungarian folk music, and singer-songwriter material. They'll bring an eclectic program to Langhorne on February 2nd that is sure to be wintry, ruminative yet warm, like a crackling fireplace.
March 1: Robert Curto Trio We will be the first in town to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a program of authentic Irish folk tunes. When Rob warms up his accordion and his bandmates join in, you will be transported to the lively sounds and rich culture of the Emerald Isle.
April 5: Cabin Jazz Trio This prolific Langhorne-based band, featuring Glenn Pezzillo on slide guitar, is always a hit wherever they play. Cabin Jazz will put a spring in your step, just what we need as the seasons change!
Women's History Month Theatrical Presentation:
Bridge Builder in Petticoats -- Emily Warren Roebling
Sunday, March 3, at 2 PM -- Location and ticket info TBA
Actress Carol Simon Levin entertained our audience last year with her tales of "Mothers of Invention." We are delighted that she will be returning in 2024 to tell the story of an amazing woman and her incredible life in the 1800s...and Carol will reveal a surprising connection between her and Langhorne!

FIRST FRIDAYS IN HULMEVILLE!
Last year was so much fun, we are planning to return to the super-cool Johnson Hall Coffee House for more great entertainment on the first Fridays of the summer months: June through September. Stay tuned for details!
PORCH FEST!
Porch Fest remains a very popular event, so we will be bringing it back again in September 2024! Interested musicians and porch owners are welcome to email LanghorneArtsEvents@gmail.com. It is anticipated that we will keep to the geographic footprint of S. Bellevue to W. Richardson to Hill to W. Maple and back to S. Bellevue, or close to it.
And....we have a few ideas that we are mulling over, too!
So stay in touch, mark your calendars, and spread the word!
