An encouraging crowd enjoyed beautiful music in the early evening at Salem
The Thoms family has been a wonderful blessing to Salem and to Glendale since they moved to California. The past four years they have been presenting a Family Concert -- today is their Fifth Thoms Family Concert! Pappa Hollis Thoms composed over half the program. Mama Jacqueline Thoms, son Jason Thoms, daughter Sonja Thoms, and son Jonas Thoms were joined by friends Julie Lee and Rachel Arnold for a magnificent evening of music -- varied and stimulating, thoughtful and exciting. Be sure to attend the Sixth Thoms Family Concert next year. You will be enriched by the gift that this blessed family will present to you.
