The Long Center will host a concert to mark the conclusion of the competition season. The event, which is organized independently from the Long Center, will showcase works by several artists including Mary Grace McNally, Alex Brooks, Trevor Takemoto, Azuki Umeda, Reed Tankersley, and Cheryl Copeland, who also serves as the artistic director.
"This is a venue rental event presented by an independent organization separate from the Long Center," states the announcement. It emphasizes that "any views or opinions expressed in this event or by the event organizers do not necessarily reflect the views, positions, or values of the Long Center."
The Long Center assures attendees of its commitment to maintaining a "safe and welcoming environment" and declares it "will not tolerate demeaning, harassing, or discriminatory conduct from, or directed toward, patrons, artists, rental clients, staff, or volunteers."
