             The  Spencer  Preservation  Group  and  ZVI  Construction
             have firmly established themselves as vital contributors to
             The  Spire's  rich  history,  not  only  with  their  remarkable
             renovations unveiled in April, but also with their generous
             sponsorship  of  our  World  Music  Festival  on  Sunday,  April
             13, 2024.
             The festival featured a culturally diverse lineup, including a
             mesmerizing Tai Chi performance by Master Fang-Chih Lee
             and her students, traditional and contemporary Irish tunes
             by  The  Lindsays,  stirring  Peruvian  jazz  guitar  courtesy  of
             The Carlos Odria Trio, vibrant South/Central American jazz
             and pop rhythms with Sambita, and the infectious Afrobeat
             sounds  of  The  Super  Yamba  Band  and  Kaleta.  The
             invaluable sponsorship of The Spencer Preservation Group
             and  ZVI  Construction  elevated  the  festival,  a  cornerstone
             of  The  Spire's  10th  Anniversary  celebration,  into  an
             unforgettable night of music and cultural exchange.
