Invitation To a New Season of Inspiration and Hope

Joan Blackman, Artistic Director

I am excited to tell you a bit about our upcoming 2022-2023 season. We have a fabulous lineup of artists from near and far, with varied programming that takes us on an overarching journey. The first program looks at artistic inspiration. The second is about inspiration through connections between composers, and the hope we have for the future in young talented musicians. In January, we experience the essence of Romanticism ⁠— music inspired by the human heart. Early springtime is time for a bit of levity, spontaneity and fun! For our finale, we circle back to the hope that can be birthed out of darkness through the creative process. Here is to a hopeful and inspired season!

Yours in Music,
Joan
