For You I Cross the Endless Bridge: Memorial Portraits and Meditations on Loss brings together artists reflecting on the universal experience of grief and remembrance. This group exhibition honors lost loved ones while examining how absence weaves itself into our daily lives. Through portraits and meditative works, the show explores the dual nature of memory, how it can spark joy as well as sorrow, and considers how personal loss is metabolized over time. The exhibition becomes a bridge itself: connecting past to present, loss to renewal, and individual mourning to shared human experience.

Dance is one of the oldest and most joyful expressions of being human. Dance connects us in ways words cannot: it is the language of the body and the heartbeat of community. Tonight's concert is a journey into that universal language. The orchestra becomes a living, breathing force of joy and vitality, celebrating the dance of life itself — its struggles, its triumphs, its unstoppable pulse.

This concert is a journey into that universal language. Across cultures and centuries, people have danced to celebrate life, to find connection, and to express their deepest feelings. Whether it’s the elegant steps of a ballroom waltz, the spirited energy of a street festival, or the ritual movements beneath the stars, dance shows us who we truly are: bodies alive with rhythm, spirits united in motion, hearts beating as one.

Join us one hour before each concert in the Feik Family Rotunda for a lively pre-concert discussion with guest artists. Gain unique insights into the music, the creative process, and what to listen for as the evening unfolds.
