Community-building takes center stage at this
city landmark and spiritual center. Stately and dignified, the Westminster Presbyterian Church comes alive in
a soulful synthesis of traditions. Using music to create fellowship between people, the Gwen Wyatt Chorale
invites the Persian group Liän Ensemble to perform in this part of the city for the city for the first time.
The celebrated Liän Ensemble has had a profound impact on Persian music, introducing the world to a plethora
of new compositions. Their program features original work and improvisations that draw on Persian classical
music, Sufi poetry and postmodern Jazz.
