GABE SALAZAR
Celebrating Unity and Diversity Through Music
As we come together for our final concert of season 14, "Pride: Now, Then, And Forever," I am filled with a sense of pride and gratitude for the journey we have embarked upon together this season. This concert is more than just a musical experience—it is a testament to the power of unity, understanding, and celebration of diversity. Our chorus has undergone a transformation in the past three years, symbolizing our commitment to growth and inclusivity. It is essential that we honor the legacy of those who have come before us, appreciate the perspectives of our current members, and embrace the promise of those who will carry our mission forward.
Through the transformative power of music, we are reminded of our common humanity and the connections that bind us together. Let this evening be a celebration of diversity, a tribute to the bonds that unite us, and a testament to the enduring power of harmony and understanding.
Thank you for being a part of this unforgettable evening. Your support gives us the courage and strength to continue sharing our mission through our music.
