Chattanooga Boys Choir Hosts Community Sing Tuesday

  • Thursday, September 5, 2024

The Chattanooga Boys Choir is hosting an open community sing on Tuesday to bring together those interested who would like to join in this common goal. Those present will learn, rehearse, and record the piece “When We Are Singing,” an arrangement of the Mexican folk tune Somos del Señor to an original text by Kevin Padworksi. This recording will then be released later in the month in celebration of International Day of Peace. No experience or preparation is required.

Interested participants are invited to arrive at Second Presbyterian Church (700 Pine St.) by 5:30 p.m. Those in attendance will be welcomed by a brief performance by members of the Chattanooga Boys Choir. All gathered will then learn and rehearse the song “When We Are Singing” by Kevin Padworski, directed by CBC Artistic Director Vincent Oakes and led by members of the CBC. After approximately thirty minutes of rehearsal, everyone present will make a video recording of the song. This recording will be released through social media outlets on Sept. 21 to coincide with the commemoration of the International Day of Peace. First celebrated in 1982, the International Day of Peace (also World Peace Day) is an initiative sponsored by the United Nations promoting peace across the world.
