Statement On the Ongoing Israeli-Palestinian Violence |
|
We have been watching with increasing grief and anger as once again, our Israeli and Palestinian friends are running for cover from bombs and mourning losses that should never have happened. Even as we write this, we know that more losses are adding up. We mourn with every family that has lost a loved one, or that will lose a loved one.

"Mourning into Dancing": CBST's 26th Annual Benefit Concert
Sunday, June 6, 4:00pm
Throughout history, music has served as a primal expression of the human experience, and as a catalyst for resistance and survival. This year's concert will highlight music composed in or about times of strife, honoring the human urge to recast suffering into art.
Through diverse instrumental, vocal, and choral works, written across disparate continents and time periods, we honor the courage and resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of music. Meet-the-Performers Zoom follows the Concert.
