Audience members will be invited to participate in Westminster鈥檚 Today I Will project, which strives to deepen audience engagement, by asking listeners to respond to the concert鈥檚 theme by completing the sentence 鈥淭oday I will鈥..鈥 and sharing it in writing or through social media. All responses will be collected and used to create an art installation at the Westminster Choir鈥檚 Homecoming Concert in Princeton in February.
