About The Event
At Active Passion we are constantly working on our next events. Our focus is to bring things that we are actively passionate about to our community. Well we have a surprise for you!
On the evening of June 23rd we will be hosting the very first of our Backyard Musical Series and it is our distinct pleasure to present Oleg Sulyga who will be leading a delightful string quartet to share their passion for beautiful music with us.

In order to support the artists we ask that you consider donating to the link below and 100% of proceeds go directly to these artists who have been unable to perform due to COVID closures over the last year and a half.
