EVENTS: Free SeaStrings Concert: An afternoon of enchanting string music celebrating community and volunteerism

An afternoon of live music with the SeaStrings, a local group of friends and neighbors from mid-coast Maine, will be performed on Sunday, December 14, at 2 p.m., at the St. Bridget Center in Vassalboro.

The concert is free. For those who haven’t heard them play, the SeaStrings are an ensemble that gathers weekly to share their love of music. Their repertoire is a mix of traditional Celtic, Québecois, Swedish, Irish, and Scottish tunes, with a special focus on lively fiddle music. With their passion for music and their commitment to creating connections, the group has become a staple of the local music scene, bringing joy and inspiration to all who listen.

The SeaStrings’ members are volunteers who play for the sheer joy of making music together. Open to anyone with an interest in making music, the group embodies the power of collaboration, friendship, and community building. Their concerts are a wonderful example of how music can bring people together and support charitable causes.

This concert is being held as a heartfelt gesture of appreciation for the dedicated volunteers of Sew for a Cause, a community-driven group that operates out of the St. Bridget Center. These volunteers generously give their time and talent to create handmade items for those in need, supporting local organizations and spreading comfort throughout the region. The SeaStrings and St. Bridget Center are proud to honor their hard work and celebrate the positive impact they make in our community.

The concert is free, though donations will be gratefully accepted at the door.
