Dear friends,

On Saturday, April 25, we share a very special program:

Belonging brings together music that reflects identity, longing, and home—from beloved European opera to powerful American voices, including works we don’t hear often enough.

I’m so honored to share the stage with the extraordinary

If this message resonates with you, I would love for you to join us.
Let’s celebrate what it means to belong—together.
