The Spring Benefit Concert 2024 Theme

Yes, our popular themes spring concert is back — in person!! This is our first in-person themed concert since 2019.

This year’s theme is “What’s Your Story?” Performers will share stories and songs. Some may be love stories, others about families who came from other parts of this country or the world. Some may share humorous or meaningful incidents from their lives.

Since the following day is Earth Day, you may also hear songs and stories related to that.

With a variety of performers telling their stories through different styles of music interspersed with spoken word stories and poems by members of our community, we will see the uniqueness in each person but also our connection through stories.

During the intermission, you can enjoy snacks related to our story theme. We’ll provide an opportunity for attendees to contribute brief stories! During the second half of the program, we’ll share some of those stories.
