Choral music has the potential to tell stories from cultures in our communities and beyond. But what if there are communities you have yet to reach? Or what if you are feeling discomfort with how to tell those stories responsibly and sensitively? This session will explore ways to use community outreach, collaboration, and education to bridge these cultural gaps and uncertainties. Join us to discuss how we can better tell the stories of the cultures in our communities.
