May 4-5

Saturday Programming

1:00 PM - 1:30 PM
We are a volunteer community choir that came together shortly after the September 11, 2001 tragedies. Our aim is to promote healing, diversity, community bonding, and mutual understanding through music. We perform free of charge for communities in need, in partnership with social service providers. These include area shelters, hospitals, hospices, elderly homes, and providers of services to the disabled.

We believe that the power of music is universal. The music we sing reflects the ethnic, racial and cultural backgrounds and traditions of our membership and audiences. Our goal is to leave our audiences joyous. We encourage our audiences to sing with us and we remain after our performances to bond with them.
