The Friends of Music Concert Series, an outreach program of The First Congregational Church of Camden, welcomes Robert Cart in concert on Sunday, Oct. 4, at 4 p.m. 

Flutist Robert Cart, who has performed under the batons of such luminaries as Bernstein, Leppard, and Zinman, will be joined by Matt Mainster at the piano in a program entitled The Sound of Hope in which the flute becomes a voice—singing, laughing, and breathing its way through stories of resilience and joy.

"From the soulful beauty of Samuel Barber and Jake Heggie to the smoky charm of Claire Vazart and the irresistible groove of Claude Bolling, each piece reminds us that hope will never be silent," said a Concert Series news release.

Friends of Music concerts are free and open to the public.
