Hooman Rafiee, coordinator of the Baha’i Faith Youth Group, says he cannot put into words the emotions he feels every time the group performs at One Planet United's annual interfaith music concert.
“The experience is unimaginable,” Rafiee said. “There is nothing but unity all around you. Every moment is about love. The event is all about what the society and the world needs.”
This Sunday, Rafiee will relive the experience.
The two-hour long fourth annual Faith in Music concert at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts is expected to feature over 270 performers representing 10 different choirs from Coral Springs and other cities in Broward County. Making a statement for unity in diversity will be five different world religions.
Non-perishable food items will be collected and distributed to local food pantries, said Jack Bloomfield, director of One Planet United. “We have asked performers to bring food, and we are hoping everyone in the audience, too, will support what we are trying to do. If that happens, it will be huge. A lot of people in the community are in rough shape.”
The concert will be at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 26 at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts, 2855 Coral Springs Drive. Tickets cost $10 and are on sale at the center box office and all participating congregations. Call 954-340-2115.
