The Series
 

Artistic Voyage Founder and Artistic Director Yana Reznik writes, "Our Artistic Voyage series is designed to celebrate the beauty of the arts. As musicians, it is our responsibility to be ambassadors of the arts, to use our God-given talents to help spread joy throughout our community and the world - and to enrich the lives of others through our music."
 
Senior pastor at Messiah Lutheran Church Robert Mooney writes, "Artistic Voyage is our outreach effort to encourage the community to embrace the arts. We are committed to bringing the church back into the celebration and encouragement of the arts - and to becoming a cultural center for our community."
 
A portion of the proceeds from each event within the series is donated to worthwhile humanitarian causes throughout the world. This event will benefit: Hope 4 Kids International's HOPE FOR WOMEN.
