We could have chosen any poems.

We didn’t.

This concert program is built on the words of poets from our own community—writers connected through All-Writers—people who are living, creating, and telling stories right here, right now.

This isn’t just a performance—it’s a collaboration.
It’s local voices becoming music.
It’s our community, reflected back in creativity.

We’ve met these poets. Heard their stories. Asked questions.
And now, we carry their words into every note we sing.

Come hear what happens when a community creates together.
