Dear friends,

As we welcome in a new year, there is no doubt that we enter it with a mixture of feelings. My wish is that one of those feelings is hope.

Over the past two years, we have seen countless acts of hope throughout the Tessitura community. Your ability to transform experiences, develop new ways of gathering and center equity and inclusion has sustained millions of people across your communities.

Our job at Tessitura is to sustain you. We will continue to do so throughout this next year and beyond. It is our honor to do so.

Happy New Year from all of us at Tessitura!

—Andrew
