IN GOOD COMPANY

Songs of Friendship, Storytelling, and Shared Joy

May 1 & 2, 2027 · The Raven Theatre · Healdsburg, California

Don Scott Carpenter, conductor

In Good Company celebrates the people who walk beside us, the stories that shape us, and the extraordinary things that happen when individual voices become a community.

Through folk songs, spirituals, contemporary choral works, and music from the Broadway stage, the program moves from invitation and discovery to compassion, courage, solidarity, and joy. It is a concert about finding our place with one another—and about the light we carry when no one has to walk alone.
