2021 UNBOUND: Chamber Music Soirées with Violinist Daniel Szasz & Friends
St. Francis Music Academy (SFMA) is excited to announce 2021 UNBOUND: Chamber Music Soirées with Violinist Daniel Szasz & Friends! Part of the academy's 2021-2022 Music Corner Series, the six live concerts will be held at The Episcopal Church of St. Francis of Assisi (3545 Cahaba Valley Road, Indian Springs, AL 35124). The concerts will also be live-streamed.

The 2021 UNBOUND season, featuring multidimensional, interactive events that are accessible to all, was curated with the hope that it will offer healing, inspiration, and renewal through music, words, and dance to both live and virtual audiences.
