Join us for an evening with The Woodlands Diversion on January 18th, 2025, as we present a captivating concert that intertwines music and movement, featuring the dynamic performances of Noble Motion, Urban Souls and Stephen Hanna. They will be accompanied by an ensemble of amazingly talented musicians: Ingrid Gerling (violin), Weilan Li (viola), Larysa Horichenko-Balema (cello), Eric Grimes (baritone), and Matthew Kent Everett (piano/harpsichord). 

This unique event promises to be a celebration of creativity and connection, showcasing the powerful synergy between dance and live music.

The concert aims not only to entertain but also to uplift our community. Proceeds will directly support local initiatives, including grants for aspiring artists, free performances for seniors, and outreach programs for communities that face barriers in accessing the arts. 

Come experience the joy of artistic expression while contributing to a noble cause. Let the rhythm inspire you and the movement move you—together, we can make a difference!
