Upcoming Events

August 10

7pm

Vocal Affinity and Chamber Strings present the concert "A Life to Love!" at the First Baptist Church of Glendale on Sunday, August 10th at 7:00pm.  The concert centers on the journey of developing love for life through transformative life events. From the aftermath of a child going off to war and not returning, losing your senses and learning to cope, or discovering who you are and how you fit into this world - our capacity for love in this life deepens.

Works featured include the powerful "Soldier's Mother's Lullaby" by Ēriks Ešenvalds, the impactful "A Silence Haunts Me" by Jake Runestad, the hopeful "I Thank You God for Most This Amazing Day" by Dan Forrest, the joyous "I Am Glad" by Daniel Schreiner and many more selections.
