Mark your calendars for a captivating afternoon of music spanning classical, spiritual, and gospel traditions as we welcome soprano Angela Watson and pianist George Francois on Saturday, February 22nd at 3:00 PM in our sanctuary.

Her versatile artistry spans opera, jazz, and R&B, garnering recognition from Saturday Night Live to Jazz at Lincoln Center.
Francois, a Juilliard-trained pianist, brings his mastery of classical, gospel, and jazz genres, enriched by performances across Ghana, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
