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.
We are also excited to host a special fundraiser in connection with our Art of Sound concert, featuring a conversation with Daniel, a silent auction, lite bites, and a wine reception.
General Admission $40 • Senior Citizens (62+) $30 • Students (High School ➕ Undergraduate College) $15 • Reception (Add-on) $50
