“True belonging is the spiritual practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so deeply that you can share your most authentic self with the world and find sacredness in both being a part of something and standing alone in the wilderness.” — Brene Brown
This program celebrates the fact that all of our stories deserve to be heard. Our differences are what make us beautiful and the history of all cultures belong in our concert halls. I hope this collection brings you a sense of awe and inspires you to share your story. You belong.
— Jamie Clark
