About this event

This season's concert explores the concepts of global connections, common stories, and the power of community. Our program will include diverse languages of Ukrainian, Luganda (an African Bantu dialect), and Hebrew. Composers include Randy Newman (Toy Story), Joni Mitchell, Brandi Carlisle, and Joan Szymko. Come hear the powerful words of Mahatma Ghandi, Mother Teresa, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the stories of Matthew Shepherd, Nujeen Mustafa (a Syrian refugee), and Albin (a gay drag queen). This thoughtful program will uplift, challenge, and bring joy! We hope you will join us as we navigate unprecedented times through music and poetry.

Frequently asked questions

Where should I go to dinner before the concert?

There's a Moroccan restaurant to the west called Shokran (https://shokranchicago.com/). Hot Woks Cool Sushi is just south on Pulaski (https://www.hotwokscoolsushi.com/pulaski). If you're into Italian food, check out La Villa, just further south on Pulaski (https://lavillabanquets.com/).

Where should I park?

The church has parking available in a lot at the corner of Belle Plaine and Pulaski. Street parking is available, however please be aware of streets which are permit-only near the church. You may have good luck with finding a spot on Pulaski.

Do small kids need tickets?

Children under age 7 are free. We would suggest that you bring activities for your children to do during the concert if they will not stay engaged so as to not disturb audience members or the singers. You can also sit just outside the sanctuary space if your children need a short break.
