July Concert
Triumph & Resilience
Music for times of national and personal adversity
Each piece represents a perspective of overcoming periods of darkness into triumph through wartime solidarity, a nation’s independence, a subversive act of defiance against one’s own nation, or overcoming our biggest enemy: ourselves.

April Concert
A Nordic Journey
Travel through sounds of Finland and Sweden (and a bit of sun in the Aegean)
