Sounds of CommUNITY Concert
Connecting Through the Arts
Begun in 1991, the Sounds of CommUNITY Concert has been a vital program of the Interfaith Federation for more than 30 years. Music and the arts are an integral part of all faith traditions – the arts give us ways to express things about our faith that words alone cannot.
The annual concert seeks to bring the community together around these creative aspects of our faiths, allowing us to celebrate, appreciate and understand one another better.
