This event uses a concert setting to inform our audience's understanding of how social injustices affect the creation and dissemination of music and in turn how they might be able to use the arts to effect meaningful and positive change in the world. This special, inspirational event highlights the importance of the arts in impacting social justice and demonstrates how the arts exist fully integrated into the world from which they emerge.

"Into the Light" will bring awareness to inequities in the arts and to lesser-known composers, offering a more comprehensive understanding of how personal experiences impact these creators, their body of repertoire and their overall careers.

Performers include Rachel Ciraldo, flute; Galit Kaunitz, oboe; kristina Finch, harp; Arisia Gilmore, horn; Alexander Russakovsky, cello; Taylor Hightower, baritone; Young Kim, piano; and Michael Bunchman, piano
