  • Informative spoken introductions

    Each musical selection is introduced by the artist, who shares interesting biographical information about the composers and poets, historical and literary contexts, and their own personal stories.

  • Engaging performances

    Our rotating roster of professional singers and instrumentalists reflects the rich cultural diversity of our community. We perform musical settings of poetry with universal themes, written across centuries and continents, and sung in over ten different languages.

  • Welcoming receptions

    After the concert, join us for a lively reception and a chance to meet the artists, visit with friends and neighbors, and connect with fellow music lovers.
