A Soundbox tradition at St. Boniface returns on January 2, 2026! Join us for New Year, New Spirits for when we ring in the new year with a festive chamber music feast!

Arrive early to enjoy the beautiful St. Boniface campus as it continues to be restored from the hurricane damage in 2024. Take in the last remnants of the sunset and the emerging stars in the night sky before entering the sanctuary for a celebratory concert! This concert is a part of Soundbox's flagship Suncoast Composer Fellowship Program. Meet the artists both before and after the concert for warm drinks and light refreshments!
