The long-anticipated debut of Damon K. Clark in the storied century-old sanctuary of St. Paul United Methodist Church, The Soul of the Arts District, will take place on the fourth Tuesday in June rather than the customary second Tuesday of the month.

The concert will run from 7 p.m. to approximately 8:30 p.m. A reception with the artists will be held in St. Paul's I.B. Loud Fellowship Hall (basement level) immediately following the performance.
