Singing is powerful and uplifting. Singing together teaches us how to listen to each other and singing in harmony has a ripple effect in the community and beyond. Whether you are an experienced singer, or have always wished you could sing, you are welcome to sing with our non-audition community choir. No need to read music.
We sing songs of spirit from around the world; step by step, call and response, in the oral tradition. These will include African freedom songs, Latin chants, songs from the African-American tradition, as well as contemporary songs. All voices are welcome!
