David Wilcox in concert Friday, Sept. 18, at Glencairn Museum

David Wilcox, singer-songwriter and storyteller, will perform Friday evening, September 18, at 8:00pm at Glencairn Museum, 1001 Cathedral Road, Bryn Athyn PA 19009, to kick off Bryn Athyn Church’s “Living Gratefully” program.

“Living Gratefully” is a 7-week, small-group series exploring gratitude and God’s constant loving presence.

Tickets for the concert—which is open to the public—are $15; $10 for students, seniors and Basic Glencairn Museum members; free for Museum Gold Members. Tickets and more information are available online through Bryn Athyn Church’s website or call Glencairn Museum at 267.502.2990.

The event, co-hosted by Bryn Athyn Church and Glencairn Museum in Glencairn’s Great Hall, promises to be a moving, intimate show that gives the audience a rare personal experience of the artist’s range of skills and his individual style.

Considered a “songwriter’s songwriter,” Wilcox’s songs have been covered by such artists as k.d. lang, while his skills as a performer have been compared by critics to Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and Kenny Rankin. Performing and writing since the ’80s, his recent songs have explored relationships both personal and spiritual. His lyrics speak of gratitude for the various gifts, large and small, that life offers.

The Bryn Athyn Church holds worship services in Bryn Athyn Cathedral. Glencairn, the former home of the Raymond and Mildred Pitcairn, is a museum of religious history. Both structures are National Historic Landmarks in the Bryn Athyn Historical District.
