Conspirare Christmas: House of Love

Conspirare Christmas is a musical journey through memory and hope, where voices unite to create something larger than ourselves—a reminder that in the act of singing together, we discover not just the spirit of the season, but the essence of what connects us all. Craig Hella Johnson’s signature program breaks down musical walls, inspiring listeners year after year.
