*******

It starts with a love for music,

An appreciation of words,

and passionate communication

And creative expression

And the experience of having been inspired

Of having felt the magic that sometimes

Gets created in live performance,

In the place where artists and audience

Come together.

*******

It grows – out of and into a sense of purpose

To advocate on behalf of art, and spirit,

And the inspirational quality,

And with that comes a pledge –

To place and re-place the emphasis on

Essence and content

And to create opportunities and environments

That are richly rewarding.

*******

Through the power of community,

And the energy of trust

And a belief in the work and the vision

And with the strength of stamina, and

The force of fulfillment

It continues to expand

*******

Thanks are in order – to all…

The patrons and sponsors,

The talented team that pulls it together

For your support and participation
