About the Event
Join us as we explore a living arch, from sunset through the longest night and into morning. The evening is designed as a shared experience—one that invites reflection, vulnerability, and ultimately, renewal.
The night begins at the threshold. As the light softens, internationally acclaimed cellist Joshua Roman carries us inward. His cello invites us into the architecture of night, a solitary voice in the stillness.
Pianist prodigy Arsha Kaviani then invites the stars to appear, his piano becoming a constellation of sound, radiant against the quiet expanse of night.
After a brief pause—the longest night—the horizon shifts.
The legendary Paul Winter Consort then guides the audience into dawn. A landscape of light is awakened.
The evening culminates in a final celebration of the new day as Roots Grown Deep join on stage.
This is not simply a concert.
It is an experience of transition—of moving together through darkness toward connection and shared radiance.
