Central Florida Folk hosts folk music concerts on the last Sunday of the month, in the Orlando area. The May concert is usually held on the 3rd Sunday.  Concerts in November and December are usually held on a date that does not conflict with Thanksgiving or Christmas. Library concerts begin at 2:00 PM because the Library closes at 5 PM on Sundays.  Fodor's Grove concerts start sometime between 2:00 PM and 3:30 PM, subject to slight change, depending on the season.

Music

Music is the hand that rocks the cradle.
It gives us a steady, rhythmic tempo to set the pace of our lives.
It makes us feel all warm and fuzzy, even in the bleakest of times.
It gives us confidence, because the songs of long ago still resound today.
The lyrics can make us laugh, or cry, or just feel wonderful.
Each of us has a song to contribute, that others may enjoy the day.

Have you played your note today?
Don't wait! Do it now!
