The Kulshan Chorus in Bellingham, WA, will be performing a concert titled "The Path to Kindness" on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at the First Congregational Church. The concert is inspired by the book of poems "The Path to Kindness: Poems of Connection and Joy," edited by James Crews.

In October of 1998, Matthew Shepard, a young gay student at the University of Wyoming in Laramie was kidnapped, severely beaten, tied to a fence, and left to die in a lonely field under a blanket of stars. Five days later, when Matt passed away, the world was watching. Approaching the eve of the 20th anniversary, Craig Hella Johnson has responded with his first concert-length work, Considering Matthew Shepard.

Kulshan Chorus and Sno-King Chorale (from Edmonds) joined forces to present a choral celebration of the late Stephen Sondheim’s music. Accompanied by Washington’s most talented instrumentalists, these performances entertained and inspired the audience. They were able to enjoy A Little Night Music during the day. The performance had you smiling 24 hours, inspiring you to take some time on Sunday in the Park or a stroll Into the Woods.
