The Sacred Space: Identity, Love & The Divine concert explores the spaces of gender identity, love, and expressions of faith and how they can be connected Songs include modern choral works, accompanied and acapella, and some classical pieces and songs with the feel of the gospel, jazz, and musical theater The message: these three can be at peace with each other. Best expressed in the words of the final song "I've got peace like a river, love like an ocean, and joy like a fountain in my soul." - Anthony Cabrera, Conductor
