Sam Lardner & Barcelona play this afternoon at Saint Ann’s in Old Lyme.

This afternoon at 3 p.m., St. Ann’s Episcopal Church in Old Lyme presents Sam Lardner & Barcelona in concert.  Lardner’s music represents everything a cross-cultural artistic experience should be — people from different traditions meeting in a place where everyone shines brighter.

A long-time resident of Spain, Lardner has performed with his flamenco fusion band throughout Europe and the United States, where he is a regular at folk and world music festivals.

The concert is free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.  Space is limited and the doors for the concert will open at. 2:30 p.m.   A free-will offering will be collected and Lardner will donate a portion of the offering back to Saint Ann’s.

After the concert, Saint Ann’s invites guests to join Lardner and his fellow musicians for a time of fellowship and refreshments. CDs will also be sold following the performance.
