They’re at it again!
Join Gary Johnson, Roland Herzel, Tim Mallard, and Gabrielle Gayheart for a concert of eight-hand piano music to benefit the Franklin County Humane Society (FCHS), hosted at First Presbyterian Church in Frankfort. With Charlie Kendell serving as emcee - and possibly sneaking in a few surprise percussive moments - the performance promises good music, plenty of laughter, and maybe a little mayhem (especially if Roland doesn’t keep his music straight).

Admission is free, but donations to the Franklin County Humane Society (cash or checks made out to FCHS) are gratefully accepted. You can also give online at fchsanimals.org/donate.html.

The concert will last about an hour - or, if Charlie gets chatty, maybe an hour and twenty - followed by a reception in the church’s fellowship hall.

Come for the music, stay for the community, and support a great cause. We’d love to see you there!
