Today, we reflect on the tragic event one decade ago that rocked our Orlando community.

At the time, Encore was in the midst of rehearsing for our upcoming production of Ragtime. To show our support for our community, the choir came together to honor those 49 souls lost, and the countless others whose lives they touched.

We implore you all to keep pushing forward for a brighter tomorrow full of acceptance and love.
