TRIBUTE CONCERT TO DR JOHN COLLIERWITH SPECIAL GUEST JAMES MORRISON

10 JUNE 7PM | SYDNEY TOWN HALL

SHOWCASE 2021

Make a joyful noise to the LordPsalm 98.4

WELCOME

Music stands as the raison d’etre for the establishment of our school. In 1885, St Andrew’s Cathedral School’s founder, Bishop Dr Alfred Barry, sought to provide the choristers of St Andrew’s Cathedral with ‘a high-class’ education based on church principles, in addition to ‘musical training’. Bishop Barry sought to extend music in the school by stating that a major operating factor should be ‘the study of music, not merely technical training but an educational influence which is daily gaining in all thoughtful minds’. This original philosophy is evidenced today across our flourishing Performing Arts program, not only in music, but also in drama and dance.

Our Performing Arts program has a number of distinctive features. The first is its obvious quality, apparent to all who witness our various orchestras, bands, choirs, drama productions, TheatreSports triumphs and dance performances. The second is its range of options for participation, and the third is its inclusivity. At SACS, Performing Arts

is for everyone! All students of whatever ability are welcome to experience and enjoy our Performing Arts program.

In an environment where some in government and in the business world would prefer to narrow education, the performing arts is a reminder of the enjoyment and personal fulfilment that can be achieved through the arts. When the Psalmist wrote, ‘make a joyful noise to the Lord’ (Psalm 98:4), he was talking about rather more than religious music! So much of the resonance of the arts reminds us of what it is to be fully human.

A program of this size and complexity requires huge commitment from students and staff. We all know of the long hours Performing Arts staff dedicate after school, on weekends and in holidays. The products are the excellence we experience tonight, and the sheer joy of performance and being part of a sustaining musical community. Thank you to staff, students and parents for your partnership in Showcase.

Message from the Head of School Dr John Collier

SHOWCASE 2021: JUST CHILL

I warmly welcome you to Showcase 2021: Just Chill. In the 136 years of music at St Andrew’s Cathedral School, to my knowledge this is the first concert focused on jazz. Of course, our choice this year was in part to design a concert that bid thank you to Dr John Collier for his 12 years of faithful leadership. We have on occasion heard Dr Collier describe his vision of heaven as a “never-ending jazz concert” where he finally has enough time to learn to play the saxophone – what an image! Now, even for jazz devotees such as myself, that sounds a bit extreme, and our concert tonight isn’t quite the everlasting feast of jazz that Dr Collier may one day look forward to, if only as a manifestation of his well-loved dry sense of humour. However, it will certainly be a wonderful night celebrating music, and of course, especially the music that was born in New Orleans and grew up all over America.

The Character Strengths that are at the heart of our school’s wellbeing education are perhaps never more clearly illustrated than they will be on stage tonight, with the performances providing an opportunity for our students to showcase their creativity born of knowledge, persistence, self-control, balance, courage, and servant-heartedness. Tonight, they do so with the great privilege of performing alongside Australian jazz virtuoso James Morrison AM. At the centre of Mr Morrison’s extraordinary career in jazz is a commitment to encouraging the next generation of jazz musicians. Our students will tonight join the generations of Australian youth who have been inspired and empowered by working with Mr Morrison, which I’m sure will be a life-long memory for many, as it will be for myself.

When it comes to jazz, improvisation is a well-known, central feature of this art form, but improvisation is sometimes quite misunderstood. It is often popularly conceptualised as making up music

on the spot without restrictive rules – total musical freedom. For a jazz musician, this is both true and false. While what a musician plays when improvising has never been played before, and while they don’t know what the final product will be that they create during their performances, their ability to improvise is enabled by many years of enculturation in a given musical style. It is facilitated by providing a musician with stylistic parameters that act as a springboard from which, and through which they create their own music in real-time.

For musicians in all improvising musical cultures, this is developed largely by playing by ear and copying the phraseology, “licks” and musical approaches of their ancestors until such time that they speak this musical language themselves, much like we all learn to speak our first languages from our immediate family group. In musical cultures this process is sytematised (for example in Hindustani music) or is founded on an informal apprentice-student relationship (for example in Arabic music or jazz). In fact, this osmotic, oral-aural learning is the way we all learn most of our socio-cultural skills and is transferred to musical settings quite effortlessly given our psycho-biological reliance and experience in this imitative approach to learning. When this osmotic approach is applied to musical settings, a unique voice is born within each improvising musician. While each voice is unique, given every voice performs within a musical style, they are guided by and make use of musical parameters that characterize their musical style. These stylistic elements help them shape their melodies; parameters that are temporal, harmonic, expressive and relational. Rather than restricting freedom, these parameters enable it. They give flight to improvisation and the creation of a unique voice (Watson, 2012).

Message from the Director of Performing Arts Dr Christian Watson

It could be said that the dominant

worldview of the last 300 years has been

the pursuit of freedom, be that on a social,

national, cultural or individual level. This

is, of course, not a theme unique to the

modern age, and Jesus Christ often speaks

of freedom in the Christian gospels. In

John 8:31-32, Jesus tells his disciples “If

you abide in my word, you are truly my

disciples, and you will know the truth,

and the truth will set you free” (ESV). For

a Christian, knowing and abiding by Jesus’

words are the parameters that enable a

life-giving relationship with God, the

ultimate freedom-desire threaded into

us all. Within these parameters (Jesus’

teaching), a Christian improvises life,

and becomes who they were created to

be – faith in Jesus and his teaching is the

springboard that enables their relationship

as a child of God, much like the parameters

of a musical style that give flight to a

musician’s improvisations. This idea

would have resounded strongly with

the musicians who contributed to the

development of jazz, many of whom

developed their spiritual and musical

foundations in the African-American

church (Berliner, 1998).

From this point, I return to the practical

considerations of staging a concert of

this magnitude, a concert that features

our entire Stage 3 and Year 7 cohorts,

all Senior music ensembles, Old Andreans

and Junior Choir. To do so takes an

extraordinary team of dedicated music

teachers and students. You will notice

that the concert this evening is conducted

and directed by our whole team of music

teachers. This speaks directly to the depth

of talent in our music staff and to their

extensive training in the practical and

academic facets of music. Of course,

for our fine teachers the two are

inseparable, and I thank them all for their

commitment and passion for outstanding

music education. In particular I’d like to

thank Ms Szu Yu Chen, our school

accompanist, who has supported our

students in so many items tonight. I would

also like to thank Mr Ryan Desaulnier and

Ms Natalie Bouroncle for their wonderful

dancing with Senior Choir – a real treat.

Thank you also to Mrs Jessica Gardiner

and our Year 7 tutors who are supervising

our massed Year 7 choir this evening, and

our Junior School and Gawura teachers

supervising Stage 3 and Junior Choir.

Our students have once again given

their best to this experience from initial

rehearsals to this evening’s concert.

I particularly thank William Varga (Music

Captain) and Lucy Brownlie (Drama

Captain) who are our hosts tonight, as well

as Noah Curran (Year 7) and our Junior

School Music Captains Miah Graves and

Kiran Joshi. Thank you also

to our Marketing, Events and Facilities staff

for their outstanding support of this event.

Finally, thank you to Dr John Collier for

his many years of support, and also to

Mr Brad Swibel, Mrs Rhonda Robson,

Ms Nicola Warwick-Mayo, Dr Julie

McGonigle, Mr David Lindsay, Mr John

Partington and Mr John Ralph for their

wise leadership of the school. Without

their support, Performing Arts would

not be so central to the character

and experience of being a student

at St Andrew’s Cathedral School.

JAMES MORRISON AM

James Morrison is, by anybody’s

standard, a virtuoso in the true sense

of the word. Besides the trumpet, this

multi-instrumentalist also plays trombone,

piano, saxophone and double bass.

At the age of six he started on piano,

at seven he took up brass, at nine he

formed his first band and at thirteen he

was playing professionally in nightclubs.

His international career developed just

as quickly with a debut in the USA at the

Monterey Jazz Festival at age sixteen.

Following this were performances at

the world’s major jazz festivals, including

Montreux, North Sea, Nice and the

Hollywood Bowl, playing with many

of the legends of jazz - Dizzy Gillespie,

Herbie Hancock, Dave Brubeck, Chick

Corea, George Benson, Quincy Jones,

Ray Charles, B.B. King, Ray Brown and

Wynton Marsalis to name a few. James

also frequents the world’s most famous

jazz clubs – Birdland, The Blue Note and

Village Vanguard in New York, the New

Morning in Paris, the Tokyo Blue Note and

Ronnie Scott’s in London.

James has been appointed a member of The Order of Australia, has won countless awards and has been inducted into the Australian Jazz Hall of Fame. He has received several honorary Doctorates and is an Adjunct Professor at the University of South Australia, leading his own music academy.

Now 58, James Morrison’s career has included much more than just jazz…

He has recorded with The London Symphony Orchestra, rock legends INXS and the European Brass Ensemble, performed at the Royal Albert Hall for the BBC Proms, written the opening fanfare for the Olympic Games, played for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and for US Presidents Bush and Clinton. He has played classical trumpet at the Kremlin, broken a Guinness record conducting the World’s Largest Orchestra, was a TV presenter on Top Gear Australia and in 2016 was a guest of President Obama at the White House.

He’s a pilot, rally driver, sailor, author and even an inventor.

Nature Boy – Eden Ahbez

Conducted by Ms Andrea Kuburic

Soloist: Mr James Morrison

Nature Boy is perhaps American songwriter Eden Ahbez’s most famous song. Now a well-known jazz standard, the piece has been recorded thousands of times by singers and instrumentalists alike, including Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Kurt Elling, Gregory Porter, John Coltrane and Miles Davis. The composer was a recording artist in his own right, popular from the 1940s to the 1960s, however Nat King Cole was the first singer to record the song, releasing it in 1948. Even so, it was almost a missed opportunity for Cole, as when he was performing in 1947 at the Lincoln Centre Theatre, Ahbez visited him to present the song to him. Cole ignored him and Ahbez was forced to leave a copy of the song with Cole’s valet, who later passed it on to Cole. After performing the song in subsequent performances, and receiving appreciation for his rendition of the song, Cole wanted to record it but needed consent from the songwriter to do so. Eventually, he tracked down Ahbez and gained his consent, and the song became a hit. Tonight’s performance is a very special arrangement by The Real Group and features Mr James Morrison throughout.

Ellington! – Duke Ellington

Conducted by Dr Christian Watson

Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington is regarded as one of the most prolific American composers of the 20th century. His career spanned more than 50 years and included leading his orchestra, composing an inexhaustible songbook, scoring for movies, composing stage musicals, and undertaking world tours. Duke Ellington called his music “American Music” rather than jazz, but regardless, Ellington remains one of the most influential figures in jazz, if not in all American music. As both a composer and a band leader, Duke Ellington influenced millions of people around the world. He gave American music its own sound for the first time. In his 50-year career, he played over 20,000 performances in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia. Ellington! is a stunning symphonic medley that includes some of Ellington’s greatest hits including: Caravan; It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing); Just Squeeze Me; Sophisticated Lady; and his most famous Take the “A” Train. This tribute piece is arranged by American composer and conductor Stephen Bulla.

Blue Skies – Irving Berlin

Conducted by Mr Benjamin Milis

Accompanied by Ms Szu Yu Chen

Soloists: Milo Davies (Year 6), Tony Wu (Year 6), Zev Mann (Year 6), Mr James Morrison.

Irving Berlin was an American composer and lyricist, widely considered one of the greatest songwriters in American history. Blue Skies made its debut when Belle Baker, the lead actress in the musical Betsy, didn’t like a song that Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart had written for her in the musical. She contacted Irving Berlin, hoping that he would have something else she could use instead. As it happened, he had just written a song as a Christmas gift to his newborn daughter. Baker managed to insert Blue Skies at the last minute into the show’s opening night where she received 24 encores for her performance of it! She reportedly forgot the lyrics on the last encore, prompting Irving Berlin to sing them to her from his seat in the front row. While the Junior Choir will certainly deserve 24 encores, we’re sure you won’t need to sing the lyrics from your seats tonight, but feel free!

One Fine Day – Carole King and Gerry Goffin


Accompanied by Ms Szu Yu Chen, Noah Oshiro (OA2018) and Jayden Beckett (Year 10)

The Chiffons were an American girl group originating from the Bronx, New York City, in 1960. One Fine Day was written by songwriters Carole King and Gerry Goffin. It was intended for their children’s babysitter, Little Eva, who had a hit the year earlier with their song The Loco-Motion. However, they felt her voice didn’t suit the song after they recorded it with her, so the song went to The Chiffons, who were coming off another “fine” hit He’s So Fine, which went to #1 in March 1963. Carole King played piano on that track, and One Fine Day reached #5 in July 1963. Tonight, the performance features an additional verse written by Ms Andrea Kuburic which transports the song’s lyrics to a 21st century sensibility.

Milestones – Miles Davis

Directed by Mr Niall Anderson

Miles Davis is perhaps the most influential jazz musician of all time. The American trumpeter, bandleader and composer was born in Alton, Illinois. The son of a dentist, he was originally encouraged and accepted to study classical trumpet at the Julliard School of Music, however, he forged his own path to become one of the most acclaimed figures in the history of jazz. Davis led a variety of musical evolutions during his career, which saw him at the forefront of several major stylistic developments in jazz including Bebop, Cool Jazz, Funk and Fusion jazz. Milestones, a modal jazz tune from his 1958 album of the same name is one of nine tracks that has since become a jazz standard.

Swingin’ With the Saints – Mark Hayes

Conducted by Mrs Jennifer Nelson


Mark Hayes, born in Ladysmith, Wisconsin, is an American composer and arranger. His work predominantly focuses on choral music, Christian sacred music and gospel music. Swingin’ With the Saints is a wonderful medley of two traditional spirituals, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot and Oh, When The Saints Go Marchin’ In, combining a gospel soul and a bright swing feel reminiscent of the Blues Brothers!

Chicago – John Kander


John Kander is an American composer known largely for his work in musical theatre, his most notable works being Cabaret and Chicago. Set in the 1920s jazz age, Chicago follows the story of two death-row murderesses who develop a fierce rivalry while competing for publicity, celebrity and attention. This arrangement of Chicago brings together all the major hits from the musical, which are infused with the style of 1920s jazz.

Swing Song (A Jazz Suite) – Mac Huff


Accompanied by Ms Szu Yu Chen, Noah Oshiro (OA2018), and Jayden Beckett (Year 9)

Mac Huff is an accomplished pianist, musical director, performer, teacher and clinician. Over many years, he has composed, arranged and directed award-winning shows. In addition, he is in demand as a lecturer and as a guest artist for various music festivals and workshops throughout the world. Swing Song is an original jazz suite about the joy and fun of singing, which more than ever, is how our students are feeling after not being able to sing for much of 2020! Tonight’s performance features all of our Stage 3 (Years 5 and 6) students.

Spanish Dance from La Vida Breve – Manuel De Falla

Conducted by Ms Sandi Oh

Manuel De Falla was a Spanish composer and pianist active in the early 20th century. He wrote the opera La Vida Breve (The Brief Life) for a composition competition in 1904. The work is about a young gypsy called Salud, who dies tragically after attending the wedding of her former lover Paco and his bride Carmela. Spanish Dance is the most well-known excerpt from this operatic work, beautifully combining elements of Spanish folk music, flamenco, and gypsy ‘cante jondo’. While not jazz, this piece shares several links to the world of jazz, including dance inspired rhythms, an emphasis on passionate expression and the freedom inherent to gypsy music.

Why God, Why? – Claude-Michel Schönberg, Alain Boublil, Richard Maltby Jr


Why God, Why? is a song from the musical Miss Saigon by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil. Set amidst the Vietnam war, the musical mirrors the story of Puccini’s opera, Madame Butterfly, in a modern setting, telling the story of a tragic and doomed romance between an American Marine and a woman from South Vietnam. Underpinned by the tragedy and hopelessness epitomised by the Vietnam War, this song is a heart-wrenching call to God by Chris, an American marine who struggles to understand not only the emotional and romantic state he finds himself in, but also the personal state of confusion and search for meaning amidst his conscription into a war that he sees as corrupt.

If it’s Magic – Stevie Wonder



Stevie Wonder is an American singer, songwriter, musician and record producer. A prominent figure in popular music during the second half of the 20th century, Wonder is one of the most successful songwriters and musicians of all time. If it’s Magic comes from one of Wonder’s most significant albums, Songs in the Key of Life, which debuted at number one on the Billboard Pop albums chart. A musician who has blended soul, motown, jazz, pop and R‘n’B masterfully throughout his career, If it’s Magic is a sensitive reflection on the ephemeral and unseen love that is threaded into creation.

Joyful, Joyful – Mervyn Warren

Conducted by Mrs Dominique Haynes

Accompanied by Ms Szu Yu Chen and The Blue Notes

Soloists: Isabel Darge and William Wheeler

Joyful, Joyful is the final song sung by the St Francis Choir in Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit. It is a joyous, gospel, hip-hop-infused reworking of Henry van Dyke’s poem, The

Hymn of Joy, with the melody composed by Beethoven for his Symphony No. 9 finale. Tonight’s performance of Joyful, Joyful was arranged by Mervyn Warren, a noted jazz and gospel musician who is best known as an original member of the a cappella vocal group Take 6.

Variations on the theme “Oh du Lieber Augustin” for one piano, six hands – Wiwi Kuan

Ms Szu Yu Chen, Eriko Miyagawa (Year 11), and Harry Windsor (Year 12)

Variations on the theme “Oh du Lieber Augustin” is based on a popular Viennese song composed by Marx Augustin in 1679. Taiwanese pianist Wiwi Kuan has reworked the theme and composed variations on the theme for one piano six hands in a jazz style, featuring Ms Szu Yu Chen, Harry Windsor (Year 12) and Eriko Miyagawa (Year 11).

Theme from New York, New York – John Kander/Fred Ebb



New York, New York, is the well-known theme song from Martin Scorsese’s musical drama of the same name, about a jazz saxophonist and a pop singer who fall in love. It was written for and performed in the film by Academy Award-winning actress Liza Minnelli. The song was recorded in 1979 by Frank Sinatra and, of course, has since become closely associated with him.

Sway – Pablo Ruiz (music and lyrics); Norman Gimbel (English lyrics)



Dancers: Mr Ryan Desaulnier and Ms Natalie Bouroncle


Sway originated as a bolero-mambo written by Mexican composer Pablo Ruiz. The lyrics were later rewritten in English by Norman Gimbel, the famous American Academy Award-winning lyricist, and was recorded by Dean Martin. Since then, the song has become a staple for pop and jazz repertoire, being performed and covered by many famous artists such as Michael Bublé and The Pussycat Dolls. We hope you enjoy our performance tonight featuring Mr James Morrison, and SACS teachers and dancers extraordinaire, Mr Ryan Desaulnier and Ms Natalie Bouroncle.

Trio no.2 in E minor for Violin, Cello, and Piano, II: Allegro con brio - Dmitri Shostakovich

Ensemble members: Ms Szu Yu Chen and Mr Paul Ghica

Dmitri Shostakovich is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest composers of the 20th Century. He was born in the Soviet Union in 1906 and gained attention as a composer and pianist as a young man, publishing his first symphony upon graduation from the Petrograd Conservatory at the age of 19. Shostakovich went on to live a bleak life as his work fell in and out of favour with Stalin. The work being performed tonight was written during World War II. Shostakovich had just learned of the Holocaust and chose to incorporate Jewish folk music influenced melodies into the work. The 2nd movement, the liveliest of the four, has a restless and chaotic energy, alluding to the tumult of the war and destabilised world. Though Shostakovich spent his life in the hermetic Soviet Union, sealed off from the parallel development of jazz in the West, the influence of jazz can be heard, especially in his use of harmony.

Mellow Cellos Tango – Michael Kibbe

Directed by Mr Yosiah Oshiro (OA2013)

Mellow Cellos Tango is a cello quartet piece composed by American composer Michael Kibbe. His writing style spans many musical genres and encompasses tonal, modal and non-diatonic contexts. Kibbe’s style often incorporates modern compositional concepts while remaining accessible to audiences. Tonight’s performance by our Cello Ensemble is a celebration of what might be called Argentina’s jazz, tango.

Lord, Thou hast been our refuge - Ralph Vaughan Williams

Conducted by Mr Ross Cobb


Composed in 1921, Lord, Thou hast been our refuge combines a setting of Psalm 90 with Issac Watts’ version of the same Psalm—O God, our help in ages past—and the hymn tune ‘St Anne’, to which the latter is commonly sung. In doing so, British composer Vaughan Williams demonstrates respect and understanding of Anglican chant. Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Refuge begins as chant with a soft appearance of the hymn tune sung by the chorus. It works its way forward toward a triumphal conclusion of the tune for chorus and organ. An instrumental transition, fugally based on ‘St Anne’, leads to a combined recapitulation in which fugal derivations from ‘St Anne’ assume ever greater importance. Vaughan Williams would certainly have been aware, in this context, of Bach’s so-called ‘St Anne’ Fugue, the first phrase of whose subject is identical with the first phrase of the ‘St Anne’ tune.

4th Movement from Piano Quintet Op. 1, No.1, IV: Finale – Ernő Dohnányi

Directed by Ms Szu Yu Chen

Ernő Dohnányi was a Hungarian composer, pianist and conductor. He composed Piano Quintet No. 1 in 1895 at age 17 during his first year at the National Hungarian Royal Academy of Music, premiering at an examination concert at the end of the year, an extraordinary accomplishment. His composition teacher later shared the piece with Johannes Brahms, who reportedly said, “I could not have written it better myself”. The performance tonight features Year 12 students Jarrod Choi, Justin Chen and Timothy Moore, along with Charlotte Dries (Year 10) and David Kim (Year 5).

Second Suite in F, Op 28, Movt. II March – Gustav Holst

Directed by Mrs Kirsten Macaulay

Gustav Holst was a renowned English composer, arranger and teacher, especially famous for his orchestral suite The Planets. He composed the Second Suite in F in 1911, his second and last suite for military band, which evolved to become our modern-day symphonic concert band. The work consists of four movements, three of them being based on folk songs. The Wind Quintet will perform an arrangement of the 2nd movement, March.

Mr Lucky – Henry Mancini


Soloist: Lilian Knox (Year 12)

Mr Lucky is the title track from the CBS-TV television series of the same name, composed by American composer, conductor and arranger Henry Mancini. He is often cited as one of the greatest composers in film history, composing the theme soundtracks for many famous titles such as The Pink Panther and Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Mr Lucky entered Billboard magazine’s pop album chart on 28 March, 1960, peaked at No. 2, and remained on the chart for 35 weeks. Clearly bossa nova grooves were just right for 1960!

Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars (Corcovado) – Antonio Carlos Jobim


Soloists: Jessica Duncan (Year 12) and Mr James Morrison

Antonio Carlos Jobim was a Brazilian composer, pianist, songwriter, arranger and singer. Often referred to as the father of bossa nova, he internationalised bossa nova and merged it with jazz in the 1960’s, creating a wildly popular and successful genre. Corcovado was written in 1960 and was later arranged with English lyrics by Buddy Kaye as Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars. The song, on good authority, is Dr Collier’s favourite jazz piece, and is sung tonight by school captain Jessica Duncan, featuring a solo by Mr James Morrison. Interestingly, Corcovado is the name of the famous mountain range in Rio de Janeiro which is the home of the enormous Christ the Redeemer statue.

ONE DAY TO GIVE 6 YEARS TO LEARN LIFETIME TO SHARE

Dr John Gawura ScholarshipSupporting First Nations students through to Year 12

Government funding for the education of our First

Nations’ students drops from the 85 per cent we

receive in our K-6 Gawura School to a mere 5 per

cent when they join St Andrew’s Cathedral School

in Year 7. Your help is needed to make up

the shortfall.

As our Gawura graduates move into secondary

school, our wish is for them to complete their

education here, with their friends, in a culturally

safe environment and an understanding

support network.

To honour Dr Collier’s contribution as the Head of Gawura and SACS for the

past 12 years, we invite you to donate to the ‘Dr John Gawura Scholarship’.

ONE DAY TO GIVE SIX YEARS TO LEARN LIFETIME TO SHARE

We are holding a 24-hour

Giving Day commencing at

3pm on 17 June. Our target

is $240,000. All donations are

tax-deductible.

The Dr John Gawura

Scholarship will cover one

student for their six years

of secondary schooling,

including uniforms,

co-curricular and excursions.

This will create a future

of possibilities.

Giving Day 2021
