Interpreting

Event

Music moves the soul. It heals wounds. It lifts us in joy and comforts us in pain. If 2020 has shown us anything it’s that music brings us together both emotionally and physically.

We can't wait to see everyone Thursday night as we bring music to the eyes and ears of everyone, regardless of where you are during these precarious times. Let's all gather around as we enjoy the incredible music that these talented artists have created for us all!
