Most of all: thank-you!
We wanted to say another thank-you to our wonderful audiences, members, numerous committees and volunteers, musicians, designers and stage crew, generous sponsors (BP Trinidad & Tobago, Flow, and CNMG — C TV, Sweet 100.1FM, and TalkCity 91.1FM), and everyone who came together to make this year’s concert series — Heal Our Land, I Dream a World and Hearts Beat Together 2 — the uniquely powerful, uplifting, and joyous experiences they were. We are humbled by your feedback, and are so happy to have created a space for reflection, healing, hope, and joy in these troubled times by doing what we so love to do.
