Join Sharon Prince, CEO and Founder of Grace Farms, for an unforgettable chamber music concert and talk exploring the role each of us can play in building a better, more just world. Prince will share her remarkable journey of creating a boundary-defying environment that actively drives humanitarian outcomes and reshapes our approach to global challenges, including forced labor in the building materials supply chain. Her thesis has already begun to redefine how we think about architecture’s role in creating a more just and equitable world.

Following the talk, experience a one-of-a-kind chamber music concert delivered by some of today’s most celebrated musicians: Jennifer Frautschi, Vijay Gupta, Michelle Ross & Blake Pouliot, violins; Ayane Kozasa & Melissa Reardon, violas; Gabriel Cabezas & Arlen Hlusko, cellos; Anthony Manzo, bass; Pallavi Mahidhara, piano; Emi Ferguson, flute; Yoonah Kim, clarinet; and Gina Cuffari, bassoon.

Inspired by Prince’s humanitarian work and career, this 60-minute musical program features visionary composers—most of them American—who have expanded the ideas of what’s possible. This program is curated by Grace Farms Artist-in-Residence Arlen Hlusko.
