On 6:30 PM on Thursday, May 14th, the VocalEssence Singers Of This Age will perform the final concert in a year-long series called Stories the Land Holds at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd. The theme of their program is called Changing, Growing, and Celebrating.

The series organizers write: "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), a Twin Cities teen choir led by G. Phillip Shoultz, III, will perform a dynamic, multi-genre concert reflecting on Land, Home, and Community. Together, we’ll look ahead with hope—exploring how we can be a beacon of love, inclusivity, and grace in our everyday lives."

Stories the Land Holds: Changing, Growing, and Celebrating
Thursday, May 14th
