Harshman Family and Friends Gratitude Concert

  • Whidbey Island Center for the Arts PO Box 52 | 565 Camano Avenue Langley, WA 98260 (map)

Chris Harshman, beloved South Whidbey Band Director and local musician presents the Harshman Family and Friends Gratitude Concert.

This concert is truly a variety show that will take us on a musical journey: we begin with creation, and find ourselves both alone and united as one. We discover the joy of ROCKIN with the rhythm of the rain, and the fact that sometimes we just cry. But we all love to root for the underdog and celebrate the comeback kid.

The second half of the program begins with a surprise gift, then a touch of romance, and Love. Followed by many of life’s profound questions, such as why am I soft in the middle when the rest of my life is so hard? As we approach the end to our time together, we will take a moment to reflect on the challenges and rewards of our journey, and our gratitude to share our journey together. And, in the end, we will fill our parting glass, bid good night and joy be to you all. Please join us!

This event is a fundraiser for mental health services!

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
