Highlights

The 'Strings' Beyond the Note Charity Concert offers a profound journey into the exploration of emotions. Have you ever wondered what joy, sadness, anxiety, or anger might sound like? This performance weaves together the narrative of the picture book 'The Ball Inside of Us,' live orchestral arrangements, and emotive vocal performances to help the audience uncover the courage and self-worth hidden within their hearts.
