The Beloved Community Youth Choir will begin its fall season on Tuesday, September 24! This Choir aims to develop both social and musical skills in youth by using music to acquaint them with the practices of Martin Luther King Jr.’s philosophy of nonviolence.
Activities will include listening to and singing a diverse repertoire of music, with an emphasis on songs about social justice and peace, as well as learning to improvise and collectively compose original songs with a goal of regularly sharing our music with the Brattleboro community.
The Beloved Community Youth Choir program will be free of charge and open to all children in grades 2-6 in the Brattleboro area who love to sing and want to learn more.
There is no requirement of an affiliation with St. Michael’s and no requirement for previous musical training or experience. Rehearsals will be in St. Michael’s music room on Tuesdays from 3:45 – 4:45 with the option to come at 3:30 for a snack. The program will begin on September 24.
