Falmouth Cultural Council

During the course of conducting our community survey, we heard from a homeless man how important music was for him. He walked from his camp behind a big box store to where the Town Band performs. Once these concerts end on Labor Day weekend, he had no way to listen to music.

Out of his story, came the Council’s new project, Music at the Table, now in its third year.

We provide live music every Tuesday, from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM at Saint Barnabas Episcopal Church’s A Place at the Table, a free and welcoming lunch program.

• "I can’t recall ever being so happy about playing for people. What I hope I accomplished was adding an element of comfort to people who have very little of that in their lives. Music has that power and it felt so good to be able to deliver it." (Gene Bourque, Cape Cod Acoustics)

• “One of the things we all need with a post COVID epidemic of loneliness is a way of connecting and belonging. Music is an incredible and accessible way to bridge social gaps and create social bonds even if just for an hour." (Donna Jackson, Psy. D., Vinfen Clinician - Homeless Outreach & Engagement Team)

​All donations pay the musicians’ stipends. Our performers are professional, working musicians and we honor their creativity with a stipend that values their work.
