From Darkness to Light

Join us for From Darkness to Light, an uplifting choral journey that explores themes of hope and renewal through the power of music. Experience a transformative journey from despair to resilience as our choir illuminates the path forward with stirring selections. The concert also features the Harambee Gospel Choir who will perform a moving and inspiring set of music and join the Conservatory Choir for a culminating arrangement of We Shall Overcome in a special reprisal of the collaboration with Sweet Honey in the Rock® from earlier this season. Don’t miss this celebration of the human spirit and the promise of brighter tomorrows.
