Somehow another 5 years has past, and it is time for Stanford Talisman’s 35th anniversary concert. The last concert was in February of 2020 –just before shelter-in-place orders came into full effect, and other paradigm shifts that make that concert feel a lifetime ago. In this concert, we sing songs born from social movements as a way to (re)connect with stories of radical hope, grief, and solidarity.

Stanford Talisman is an a cappella group dedicated to sharing music and stories from all around the world. I was quite active in this group both as a singer and arranger during my time at Stanford, and in this upcoming concert, my first ever arrangement for the group will be performed. Excited to re-live great memories, and see beloved friends!
