Art of Sound: HUGHES & THE MUSE

Birdsong often inspires human song. In Art of Sound: HUGHES & THE MUSE, The Choral Project celebrates the artistry of its founder and artistic director, Daniel Hughes. Featuring original works, including solo piano works and compositions for soloists, alongside pieces by composers and musicians who have shaped Daniel's creative journey. This program reveals the beauty that arises when one artist’s voice is uplifted by an organization committed to amplifying extraordinary musicians.

Concert ticket purchase includes admission to our pre-concert talk with Daniel, and an opportunity to bid on a curated silent auction supporting The Choral Project!

We are also excited to host a special post-concert reception in connection with our Art of Sound concert, featuring lite bites, a selection of wines, and a special silent auction. Bidders need not be present to win.
