Morrison Center to host free concert ‘You are Not Alone’ Oct. 2

At 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 2, the Morrison Center will present a free concert, "You Are Not Alone," by Tonality, a Grammy-winning choir based in Los Angeles, California. The group is known for defying and redefining traditional choral topics. Tonality sings about the labels placed on individuals with mental illness, capturing the experiences of poets and artists who deal with or have dealt with mental health conditions. This concert explores how fracture and division lead to feelings of shame and misunderstanding that stigmatize community members encountering these hardships. Tonality's music seeks growth and healing through authentic storytelling for those who need compassion, understanding and validation.

The Morrison Center and Tonality have partnered with campus organizations to provide supportive resources and tables in the Morrison Center Lobby as part of a commitment to campus well-being and positive change in the Boise community and beyond.

In collaboration with the event, Boise State's immersive all-digital museum space, the Stein Luminary, will host quiet meditations, offering "Resonances" and "Room to Breathe" sessions of reflection. The Stein Luminary is located west of the Morrison Center and will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct, 1-4, with hours extended until 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 2 following the performance.
