What an afternoon at our Fall Concert. 💙
This season was especially meaningful as Artistic Director Lucas Tarrant, curated a program in honor of his late classmate and dear friend, Michael Schafer. The theme of hope and resilience in the face of loss resonated deeply with all of us.
To make the night even more special, Dr. Randi Ellefson flew in to guest conduct. As Lucas’s longtime mentor from Oklahoma City University, their reunion on our stage was powerful to witness.
We were also honored to have Jillian Schafer Curtis, Michael’s widow, with us in the audience.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for a night of remembrance, healing, beautiful music, and community. 💛✨
