TICKETS ARE PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN We are delighted to invite you to RISE UP, Aella’s first concert of the 2025-26 season.
Singing in a group has long helped us connect to each other, and fostered hope and resilience in communities and social movements. Please join us for an afternoon of music meant to inspire courage, optimism, and action in the face of adversity.
The concert will feature music from the Singing Revolution in the Baltics, the Syrian revolution, and anti-apartheid music from South Africa, as well as an interactive musical segment when Aella will teach audience members different types of protest songs.
