The Gift of Resilience: Luminaries in the Darkness, A Remembrance of Love

Cranaleith Spiritual Center invites you to an evening of reflection, light, and soulful music. Join us on Sunday, December 21st as we gather in community for a special seasonal celebration filled with warmth, remembrance, and connection.  Come for part of the day or all of it. Just know that you’re welcomed here.

The Gift of Resilience: Luminaries in the Darkness, a Remembrance of Love is a musical experience of contemplative, meditative, and reflective memories generated by love lost, love gained, familial ties and friendship everlasting. This concert is performed by the award-winning artist, Leslie Savoy Burrs (composer, flute, alto flute, bamboo flutes) and the international jazz artist Mark Kramer (piano). The music for this concert presentation consists of compositions by Burrs as well as jazz and folk standards.

This program is designed to engage the audience spiritually through the music while encouraging a dialogue and reminiscence of love’s offerings through time. Together, we’ll find solace, hope, resilience and peace through music and fellowship.

The entire event is free and open to all. Donations are gratefully received. Space is limited and registration is strongly encouraged. Priority seating will be given to registered guests.

Come, rest in the gifts of music, community, and the enduring strength we share.
