a candle of hope, songs for the season

Join us for a candle of hope: songs for the season, an intimate candlelit concert featuring internationally renowned baritone Jonathon Adams, alongside acclaimed local music legend Matthew Larkin and members of the Caelis Academy Ensemble.

This unique evening will also highlight the inspiring talents of Emmanuel Solomon, Nigerian tenor and founder of Bikkurim Music Studios, an initiative dedicated to providing accessible music education in the community.

Presented by Nick Veltmeyer and sponsored by Music As Sanctuary, this heartfelt concert will fill St. Andrew’s Church with warmth, light, and the spirit of the season.

Proceeds from a candle of hope will directly support Bikkurim Music Studios and Caelis Academy, helping to make music education accessible and transformative for young people in our community. Mark your calendars for an evening of exceptional music, community spirit, and shared hope for a brighter future.
