The Glaser Center

$25 per person, kids are free! Join us in Occidental, Tomales, and Santa Rosa for an uplifting concert of contemporary & folk music, spoken word, poetry, and locally composed music. “Light in the Darkness” is about seeking and creating light when the world feels dim.

It’s about music as a lantern: something we carry together, passing its glow from one heart to another. Our program will take us through moments of stillness, struggle, wonder, and celebration with each song as an ember that can ignite hope. This season’s music will remind us that even in the longest night, the promise of dawn is real.

Come experience true West County positivity and performance!
