A BIG thank you for attending ONEarth! The concert was performed for over 300 people under a beautiful blue sky on Sunday, June 11, and gave us a chance to connect with nature through song and storytelling.
One Voice would not be able to fulfill its mission to build community and create social change by raising our voices in song without your support, so THANK YOU!
Join us this June for ONEarth, a concert experience like no other! We’re taking this one out of the concert hall and into the great outdoors. ONEarth will celebrate our connections to each other and the earth, and what better place to do it than on Raspberry Island in the heart of the Mississippi River. Exciting visual elements, such as life-sized puppets, will help bring the eclectic set of music to life. So, grab your lawn chair or blanket (and maybe a few friends) and meet us at ONEarth for a communal experience that will stay with you long after the last note has been sung!
Saturday, June 10 | 7:00pm
