Cultural Change as a Force for Political Change

Cultural change always precedes political change, and singing has the power to impact cultural sentiment as we convey powerful stories, invoke empathy, renew sense of purpose and overcome activist fatigue, and unify around common values. By stepping into new spaces with our work, we can have a powerful impact on new audiences and decision makers. This session will explore how choirs can contribute in nonpartisan ways through unique community partnerships, outreach, audience engagement, and communal programming, and how we can use our role as community leaders to impact political and social dialogues.
