Join us for Fall in ❤️ with Love! the Season Two premiere of Music as the Message (MaM), reimagined as a new, hybrid virtual and in-person performance experience. Together, let us usher in this season of renewal, reopening and reflection, celebrating the greatest four letter word ever created — LOVE! The MaM Ensemble and special guest artists will join Adrienne, to lead us through an immersive program of multi-genre, uplifting and familiar songs, operatic arias and spoken word. As we commune through music, attendees are encouraged to sing and speak along, whether in the Zoom room or in the Sanctuary, with strong and joyous voices!
