Installation Concert, Saturday March 6, 7:00 pm

In celebration of the new partnership between The First Unitarian Church of Baltimore and Rev. David Carl Olson, we will be hosting a Concert with special invited guests on Saturday, March 6 at 7:00 pm.  Emcees, Adrian Hilliard and Lyn Cox will welcome to the stage classical, folk and hip hop artists for a show that is as enthusiastic and wide-ranging as our own congregation.




Foundation Movement— Recently chosen as Boston's Best Hip Hop Act in the Improper Bostonian's Best of Boston Issue, the Foundation Movement continues to be one of Bostons top Hip-Hop acts, with songs crafted with creativity and balance. MCs Eroc and Optimus are committed to addressing issues of injustice and oppression, while also entertaining crowds with hot beats and relevant lyrics.


Pia Broden-Williams — Pia is a talented coloratura soprano from Michigan, gifted with a rare and flexible type of voice that can proficiently execute classical, jazz, gospel and pop styles. Pia currently serves as musician in residence for the Unitarian Universalist Church of Flint.


New Wave Singers — A community of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and straight people, New Wave performs an eclectic repertoire featuring music that promotes justice and peace and celebrates life in all its diversity.
