The Essence of the Soul

Sunday, May 18, 2025 at 2:00 & 5:00 PM

This concert delves into the heart of the human experience, weaving together themes of aspiration, self-discovery, and interconnectedness. Our singers’ voices will guide you from personal introspection to global awareness.

Together, we’ll experience the power of self-reflection and the profound impact of words and ideas as we honor those who have raised their voices for positive change.

The Essence of the Soul invites you to reflect on your own journey. Join us for an evening that promises to inspire, challenge, and uplift – reminding us all of music's unique power to touch the very core of who we are.
