We've chosen this lineup to uplift music fans and joyously rekindle community.
“We all benefit from live music and collectively need it now more than ever,” Heintzman said. “The essence of Constellation, which brings people together in community to celebrate not only the arts, but one another, is something I deeply connect with and am proud to be a part of.”
