St. John’s Treasurer Bronté Jones organized the first “Lift Every Voice” concert in 2008. More than 500 members of the community attended the performance last January. “While there are many events in Washington, D.C., and in Baltimore, it seemed appropriate for Annapolis to have an event that is free and open to all in our community,” says Jones.
