When I Rise Up
December 4th - 6th and December 11th - 13th
Live Concerts in Occidental
Music helps us to make sense of the world, gives voice to that which matters most, and serves as a reminder that none of us have to stand alone.
This season we'll explore songs of joy, hope, resilience, justice, and protest. Some of our programming will challenge us to confront difficult truths and some of it will remind us that even in times of division, compassion, courage, and community can light the way forward. As a program, it will ask:
How do we rise together and what kind of world will we leave behind?
