Open your heart for a powerful program exploring the richness and complexity of the human experience. Featuring a wide range of traditional and contemporary choral works alongside songs in popular styles, the concert will address the ongoing mental health crisis with compassion, honesty, and hope. Guided by the eight dimensions of wellness, each piece has been thoughtfully selected to reflect a different facet of well-being, offering strength-based perspectives on healing and resilience.

Education & Outreach

Recent studies show that choral activities are essential for community health. The 2019 Chorus Impact Study: Singing for a Lifetime revealed that music education in schools is key to lifelong singing and the benefits it brings.


The study further highlighted the importance of choral groups in communities. People of all ages who sing feel more connected to others and better able to socialize . Also, choral singing promotes healthy, vibrant aging and even improvements to chronic health conditions. 

 

Choral Arts Ensemble supports several programs that bring choral music to our community.
