Focus
In a world of shrinking attention spans and devices designed to addict or distract us, how can we regain our focus? In this uniquely interactive concert, we will challenge and surprise you as we explore how music helps us not only to unplug, but reconnect.
This concert lasts approximately 55 minutes with no intermission.
