“Why Do We Sing?”

Why do we sing? As we become ever more acquainted with new ways of living and confront complex social justice issues, it can be easy to lose hope. But, we will not give up! Each person, each voice is essential to overcoming the challenges that lie ahead. During this difficult time, the Washington Performing Arts Children of the Gospel Choir encourages you to keep loving, keep fighting, and keep singing!
