"Music and art have the power to enliven the mind, awaken the heart, and inspire the soul. At a time where so many feel disconnected and divided, the 44th LEAF Festival declares itself Sanctuary - creating a welcoming space for all walks of life and all ways of perceiving our diverse world. This spring, prepare for an experience that will ignite your imagination and inspire your spirit to take hold of your creative dreams and allow them to soar. Each artist featured over the weekend have been carefully selected for not only being masters of their craft, but for standing firm as way-makers of powerful messages of hope, freedom, and inspiration. ~ Ehren Cruz, LEAF Performing Arts DirectorĀ
