Creating #memories is not just about living for the moment, but looking back at times when we really felt alive.

This year at our Christmas concert, Angels Bending Near the Earth, we had the opportunity to truly express ourselves and showcase our #talent over the two nights of celebration and festivity, and feeling more alive than ever before.⁣

We are so thankful for the experience, the family and friends we have been able to spend this holiday season with, and all of you, our Lydian supporters - our regulars and the first-timers - who came out, filled the hall, sang along, tapped your feet, and/or danced to the tassa in support of what we do.

We extend our gratitude to all our concert partners and sponsors.

We Thank You!!
