2027 SEASON UPDATE: Hello, friends! Due to circumstances beyond our control, our upcoming season opener has been postponed until Monday, January 4, 2027. We will be running from January through June this next season with an exciting and powerful repertoire of music that calls for peace and justice. That’s a long time to wait to sing together again, so watch for special pop-up sessions and community singing from October-December 2026 featuring our new songs and a whole lotta great people. If you are interested in being on our notifications list, please email Sylvia: sylvibo@cruzio.cominformation about our group:
