Evergreen Ensemble kicks off its third season with "Where You Belong," a concert on September 13 at Trinity Lutheran Church. Artistic Director David Hendrix emphasizes the importance of creating sound together to foster a sense of hope in today's fragmented world. The performance will feature works from contemporary composers, uniting some of the region's professional choral artists. On September 18, Edmonds Bookshop will host author Nicola Pearson, who will discuss her novel "Sanctified," based on the true story of women's empowerment in 19th-century Texas. A book signing will follow her discussion, providing an opportunity for readers to engage with the author.

Additionally, the Edmonds Art Studio Tour on September 20-21 invites the community to visit 39 local artists in their private studios, enhancing the connection between artists and art lovers. This year's tour reflects the vibrant artistic community in Edmonds and highlights the importance of supporting local creators.
