The peaks and valleys of a person’s and community’s history are fascinating stories to behold and be celebrated. We consider each story a unique facet or “opus” of a person’s life or community’s history. Opus: is a collaborative project that gathers the stories of people and brings them to life with original musical works performed by local artists, youth and community members.

The healing element of Opus: is felt throughout the entire process. From the story-gathering phase to the intergenerational collaboration of music development and ultimately the immersive performance, everyone from the performers to the audience is touched by the stories told. The immersive nature of the final performance where all five senses will be stimulated creates a lasting effect promoting sustained change, leaving a message for future generations.
