Water of Life Spring Concert 2023
May 16, 2022 @ 6:00pm
📍 Sacred Heart Church
This year’s Maryknoll Choir Spring Concert, “Water of Life,” was held on Tuesday, May 16, 2023, and celebrates water through music in its many forms — gentle rain, relaxing natural springs, powerful thunderstorms, flowing rivers, mighty ocean waves, and the healing water of life.
Choir Director Julianne Hiu shares in her message, “The importance of water is honored around the world through the sharing of cultural stories and music. Our choir hopes this concert will inspire our audience to research more about the significance of water and continue a conversation about how we can do our part to care for this precious resource.”
