Haseltine and Matt Nelson.
The Center for Sacred Space is thrilled to present “Behind the Scenes with The Chosen”, a one-night-only event featuring acclaimed composers and multi-instrumentalists Dan Haseltine and Matt Nelson, who will take audiences on an unforgettable journey through the music and message of the hit television series The Chosen.
