Hermit Amalgamated Musicians
The Hermit Amalgamated Musicians, better known as HAMs, was formed 10 years ago for fellow Hermits who have talents or the desire to perform in something that is not already fostered within our other activities.

Eclectic concerts hosted by HAMs have included classical chamber music, comical lectures and dramatic readings with selections from artists such as Dorothy Parker, Giovanni Gabrieli, Noel Coward and PDQ Bach. You never know what the next concert will contain. If you have talent, but no place to perform, HAMs welcomes you!
