Saturday March 23rd, 2023 – 7:30-9pm (BKCM Concert Hall)
“I will never understand why we celebrate the new year while nature is in a season of shedding and hibernation. If your New Year’s resolution didn’t work out don’t worry! The Spring as a beautiful chance to start again. Join me in celebrating a season of renewed energy!” – Miss Olithea
