Since the dawn of humanity, we have always sung in joy and in sadness; sung in community; sung in sacred times and in every day work... These have been a challenging couple of years, but we must keep singing; we must find a way! We can all sing. Come experience the beauty born in the joy of using our voices and creating harmonies together -- even as we learn the songs over a computer screen and finally gather wearing masks! It is all part of caring for each other and keeping our community safe. We can't wait to share these beautiful songs with you...
