THANKS FOR BRINGING IT HOME TO LEAF! “What does HOME mean to you? Is it in the streets, fields, and forests where you grew up? Does it rest in the warm embrace of a loved one? Of all the places we plant our roots, few things bring us HOME in our hearts like music. The strum of a guitar, the beat of a drum, the echoing chorus of a favorite song… Music holds a way of guiding us to a place of inner peace, joy and sanctuary. This Fall we'll take LEAF's community legacy one step further welcoming artists from nations who find their homes in great peril, yet despite all odds continue to share their music, message and medicine with us all. Join us this FALL where three generations of families hailing from the four corners of the Globe will gather to celebrate the power music & arts has to Bring Us Home together as ONE Family." ~ Ehren Cruz, LEAF Performing Arts Director
