'Serenity Coffeehouse hosts a monthly concert, performed by professional musicians and ensembles of music students including children, youth, and adults from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities. Musicians are drawn from local towns and music organizations. Over the past 20 years, musicians have included vocals, piano, organ, cello, violin, and flute. They play solo, in duets, or in larger groups.
Joyce Carpenter-Henderson founded Serenity Coffeehouse in 1999 and serves as Artistic Director.
