The AHM Performing Arts Hall is a small, unique, and intimate setting for live music, which once again after a two-year hiatus will return with RUNA.

This concert series has raised thousands of dollars to benefit AHM social and human service programs for the children, teens, young adults, families, and seniors of Andover, Columbia, Hebron, and Marlborough. This year’s event will feature the concert and during intermission, patrons will be treated to desserts from local restaurants and bakeries, along with a live auction.
Tickets can only be purchased here online. No tickets will be sold at the door.

RUNA 2022
AHM’s 2022 Spring Concert & Auction – RUNA
How often does a music act with international roots perform in your backyard? That according to AHM’s Executive Director Tressa Giordano, is exactly what will be happening on Saturday night April 23rd. On that evening the highly acclaimed Celtic-American band known as RUNA will be making their first appearance in AHM’s Performing Arts Hall as part of a legendary music series that each year has been met with rave reviews.
RUNA is known internationally as a super-group featuring Celtic-American Roots music. Their blend of traditional Irish and Scottish tunes, along with their repertoire of originals has influences from Jazz, Bluegrass, Flamenco, and Blues. As one reporter recently wrote: “RUNA’s music is “intoxicating.”
