This insight session presentation promises to be uniquely diverse and
impactful. Featuring singers from three distinct choral ensembles within our
city, together they bring a rich history of community engagement and social
advocacy through music. One of the choirs participating serves our
unhoused neighbors, another of the ensembles champions outreach and
justice, and the third, a student choir, has established formal ties with both
volunteer ensembles. Both non-student choirs have served our city for
more than ten years, respectively, educating about socioeconomic
challenges, housing, equality, and justice. Though not a part of every
concert, the student choir has also tackled difficult topics and prides itself
on its own diversity and desire to grow community on and off campus.
All three choral programs participating in this session have a history of
using repertoire and performance to better themselves and our city. By
showcasing the three choir’s collaborative efforts, we aim to inspire others
to collaborate, innovate, commission, and transcend boundaries through
the power of music and shared purpose.
