The Small Ensemble Showcase of the Turtle Creek Chorale sings about the healing power of music that was so badly needed and missed during the pandemic. Chorale members will sing about strength and survival displayed during the AIDS epidemic, through the loss of friends to breast cancer and now during the COVID-19 pandemic. The concert is free but advance tickets are needed to keep things safer at the door. The concert begins at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 29, at Cathedral of Hope, 5910 Cedar Springs Road.
