We are celebrating 20 years of community effort, of practice and rehearsal in collective dreaming and imagination, of reunion and rendezvous, welcoming world-renowned musicians, award-winning artists, beautiful thinkers, writers, and makers, old friends and new!

Stay tuned, stay present, stay connected, stay involved. Tickets are on sale and volunteer opportunities are open! We do this together!
