COMMUNITY CHOIR
Questions & Answers
What Is the Together We Community Choir?
This isn't simply about learning music.
It's about discovering what can happen when people from different backgrounds learn to breathe together...
...listen together...
...and sing together.
The Together We Community Choir welcomes experienced singers, first-time singers, people of every faith and no faith, every age, every political viewpoint, and every walk of life.
For a few rehearsals—and one memorable performance—we practice something our communities desperately need:
Belonging.
Who can participate?
No audition.
No membership required.
No long-term commitment.
Simply come with an open heart and a willingness to sing.
Why We Sing?
Rather than simply presenting a concert...
we become part of one.
Each performance explores six questions every community faces.
Music...
Story...
Conversation...
Reflection...
Audience participation...
Together they become one shared journey.
More than music?
We don't just rehearse songs.
We rehearse belonging.
This is the heart of what we’re creating.
What are the Four Practices embedded in the Together We anthem?
Each rehearsal gently practices four simple human capacities.
Welcoming
Learning
Listening
Empathy
Not as lessons...
as experiences.
Want to bring this to your community?
