The Common Ground Chorus

The Common Ground Chorus is a caravan of song. We sing towards a world that works for everyone. We propel ourselves with a wide array of freedom songs, rounds, and chants. Along the way we’ll stomp our feet and slap hands together in games of rhythm, call and response and improvisation. Thru it all we grow our abilities to sow harmony and courage in the world. The magic of communal song reminds us that we are the ones we’ve been waiting for! If you’ve never experienced the thrill of singing in a choir, or if you’ve always thought of yourself as someone who “just can’t sing”, this is a great way to start. There will be plenty of challenges and solo opportunities for experienced singers, too. The Common Ground Chorus will begin a four month season in January 2007 that will culminate in two public performances. Venue, day and time TBA. Contact Craig for further information.
