Concert Series

Ascension supports 'One Tree, Many Branches' concerts that are free and open to the public as part of a series. The focus of this series is embracing diversity. Each concert will offer a new listening and spiritual experience as the series encompasses traditions from parts of the world other than our own; sounds from the concert hall as well as multimedia and dance. All art stems from a basic creative need to express the human condition, and the more conditions we come to appreciate - or at the very least experience - the more compassion we are capable of having towards one another. You are encouraged to come to as many concerts as you are able, regardless of whether or not you think it will be something you like as often times the best concert-going experiences happen when we are surprised by what we do like!

A free will offering is accepted at the end of each concert that supports the future of this series. Specific information on our concerts can be found on our website at Concerts or by clicking on the link Concert Series at the top of this page.
