From the organizers: Singer, poet and Emmy Award-winning producer and composer Connie Dover will dazzle Kansas City with her spectacular soprano voice on Sunday, May 31, 2009, at 6 p.m. at Country Club Congregational United Church of Christ in Brookside.
Tickets for this performance are $20 and may be purchased online at www.BrownPaperTickets.com, by contacting the church office at 816-523-4813, or at the door. Proceeds will benefit Heifer International, a not-for-profit organization working to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth by providing appropriate livestock, training and related services to small-scale farmers and communities worldwide.
The Boston Globe proclaimed Dover “the finest folk ballad singer America has produced since Joan Baez.”
Her soaring, crystal-clear voice and inspired arrangements of traditional music of Scotland, Ireland and the American West display a depth and breadth of range that have earned her a rightful place among the world's finest traditional singers.
A native Missourian, Dover has performed as a guest on many public radio mainstays, including Weekend Edition, A Prairie Home Companion, Thistle and Shamrock, Mountain Stage, and E-Town.
