Hey everybody, we just wanted to let you know about a special event that we have coming up this Monday, December 9th at 6 p.m.

Emma Nissen will be doing a live broadcast of her Christmas concert, and we would love to have you join us.

This is no ordinary live stream. This will be such professional audio and video that you're going to feel like you're in the room.

your family. You can go to the compassgallery.com slash events for tickets and we'll see you then.
