Yearnings: Music That Knows No Boundaries

Yearnings is a one-of-a-kind concert that brings together incredible singers from the Black, Spiritual, Hindu, Jewish, Native American, and Sufi traditions—each sharing songs of their traditions. Backed by an all-star band of local musicians, they’ll explore how music from such different places can speak the same deep truth: that we’re all connected. This inspiring evening of superb artistry is a celebration of unity—and a much-needed antidote to division.

Join us for a night that promises the wonder, joy, and community that only music can create.
