Martha’s Vineyard Family Chorus, directed by Roberta Kirn, will be performing on Thursday, Dec. 18, at the M.V. Hebrew Center at 6 pm.
Donations will be gratefully accepted in support of The Song Exchange Project, which helps Kirn to travel, teach, and collect songs that she shares around the world. Learn more at bewellsing.com. Roberta Kirn has come into her own as a community leader and builder, using songs as her tools.
The songs that are part of this year’s concert include songs from Puerto Rico, Brazil, and Estonia, as well as a Buddhist chant and several songs created by songwriters in the U.S. in a variety of musical styles. The audience will be invited to join the chorus on some of the songs, and all assembled will have the opportunity to feel uplifted, inspired, and connected through singing in community.
The concert and monthly Community Sings are supported in part by the M.V. Cultural Council. This event is free. Contact roberta@bewellsing.com for further information.
This is lovely, Roberta. Warmest congratulations on your concerts and the Song Exchange Project.
Since this concert takes place at the Hebrew Center, it is an important reminder that on the night of the 18th we will be lighting the 5th Chanukah candle. Light triumphs over darkness. The holiday is about the miracle of light, both in our faith and in the military victory over evil. Most people know about the oil in the Temple miraculously lasting for 8 days instead of one, but the holiday also marks the cleansing and rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, a triumph over the dark forces trying to eradicate us. Not much has changed in over 2000 years.
Let there be light and truth in this season, and all year long.
