SJAWE: FESTIVE FUSION: The Art of Joy!

Capturing the joy of the holidays through sight and sound

🎶 Get Ready for Festive Fusion: The Art of Joy! 🎶

Join us for an unforgettable concert experience that celebrates the season, the spirit of music, and the power of sound to unite us all.

Festive Fusion: The Art of Joy invites you to explore joy in all its colors — radiant, reflective, tender, and triumphant. This is more than a concert — it’s a journey through the art of joy itself: a creative expression of humanity, hope, and harmony.

✨ The centerpiece of the evening: Leonard Bernstein’s MASS — a breathtaking fusion of classical tradition, Broadway brilliance, and spiritual exploration. With its sweeping emotional range — from doubt to faith, dissonance to peace — MASS captures the very essence of what it means to find joy through struggle, renewal, and revelation.

🎵 The program also features:

• The soaring energy of Randall Standridge’s Gloriam
• The luminous beauty of Yukiko Nishimura’s The First Noel
• Balmages’ Joy of Life bursts with energy and vitality
• Thurston's enthusiasm in Boundless (Joy)
• The holiday cheer of Vezinho's Christmas Jazz Suite
• and MUCH MORE!

Come share in the sound, the spirit, and the celebration. Let the music lift your heart as we honor the season, the art of music, and the enduring joy of community.

Festive Fusion: The Art of Joy — where music and meaning come alive.
