ChoirsAlive2! Program
April 21, 2024, at 2:30PM
The O’Shaughnessy, St. Catherine University, St. Paul, MN
ChoirsAlive!2 celebrates the resilience and humanity of choirs within our community, coming together with a common purpose of building music in safe spaces - so that we may welcome singers of all backgrounds and gender identities.
Thanks to: Calliope Women’s Chorus, Kith + Kin, Known MPLS, One Voice Mixed Chorus - MN's LGBTQ Chorus, and our Emcee Nate Bash.
ChoirsAlive!2 allows participants to use harmony as a connector to bring individuals and communities together.
Starting in the Twin Cities, our goal is to collaborate with as many choral groups and vocal ensembles as possible to empower all communities, and all people.
Special Thanks to Mary Fox for designing our print program!
Thank you to our sponsors
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to legislative appropriations from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
