After a year of learning together, of making new and renewed connections with one another and the land, let’s celebrate with food, friendship, art making, and an interactive multi-disciplinary concert. The VocalEssence Singers Of This Age (SOTA) is a community of Twin Cities teenagers engaged in expanding what it means to be a choir and, encouraging a wider circle of participation in the artform. Under the visionary leadership of G. Phillip Shoultz, III, the singers present music ranging from classical to hip-hop, they use creativity and collaboration to build an accepting community, equipped with the skills to lead social change in our society. SOTA will perform in Good Shepherd’s sanctuary to share their reflections on the theme of Land, Home, and Community. Let us move into the future with hope and action as we focus on partnerships, collaborations, relationships, and welcome. How can we be a beacon of love, inclusivity, and grace in our neighborhoods, schools, work, and play? Thank you for your participation in this journey of Stories the Land Holds.
