“Barack Obama once said ‘The future belongs to young people with an education and the imagination to create,” says VocalEssence Associate Conductor G. Phillip Shoultz, III. “This concert series showcases our amazing VESOTA family and their inspiring creativity. I know  you’ll agree that the present and the future looks, and sounds, bright!”
