DoSi will create a space for the audience to sit with their feelings and ask themselves: how do we choose to start again when we are at our lowest?

Light refershments and community conversations

Info: Join us after the performance for some light refreshments and a chance to chat with the musicians, CAFES team and other concert-goers. It will be an opportunity for you to unpack the thoughts and ideas that the musical experience brought up and connect with community.
