The Rome Grange was built in 1908, one of many Grange Halls throughout Washington State. It's a lovely old building of quiet simplicity set in the Rome area of Whatcom County. Just perfect for an evening concert of Italian music. You'll hear classic and original music from Italy, along with other favorites performed on piano and woodwinds, with vocals and ocarina, harmonium, viola and bass. It promises to be an event that is at once entertaining, soul-rendering, and delightful.

Tickets available on February 5 at Village Books in Fairhaven, and The Community Co-op (downtown location).
Admission: $18.00 General, $40.00 Families, $12.00 Seniors 65 and over.
