Her love of the music connects her to something much larger than herself—community, history, and spirituality—which allows her to channel that energy into spaces of joy. Expect a powerful, heart-opening experience filled with hope and a deep sense of connection that stays with you long after the final note. Join us for the next in our series of sacred music celebrations at Commonweal, presented in collaboration with long-time Commonweal friend Toby Symington, executive director of the Lloyd Symington Foundation and transpersonal astrologer. Held at the solstice and equinox, the concerts—and gatherings afterward—are designed to bring people together in a convivial setting around music which delights, inspires, and elevates the soul. Come for the music—stay for the food and community. This event will be held in Gallery Commonweal, which is on the 2nd floor of our historic building, and there is no elevator. | Photo: Canva --- Michelle Jacques Michelle Jacques is a voice actor, culture-keeper, and founding member of the Street Sounds A Cappella touring quintet.

As the Artistic Director and founder of CHELLE!
