We wanted to share some exciting news about the Choir as we approach the culmination of our Fall 2013 Season with “Over the Rainbow & Around the World,” our benefit concert set for December 8.As you are aware, the Choir was formed over a decade ago in the aftermath of 9/11, when our community in New York City was seeking both healing and shared moments of joy and understanding.
Peace of Heart's music now at 9/11 Memorial museum
We were thrilled, therefore, when the Choir was asked to share its work with the National September 11 Memorial Museum, scheduled to open in 2014. We have donated to the Museum two of our pieces, “It Takes a Village,” which – appropriately enough – was composed by our founder Jeff Becker, and “Bright Morning Star,” a timeless song of remembrance for all of our loved ones and ancestors whose memories live on in us.
Eleven outreach performances this fall season
This season's outreach has been very successful.Peace of Heart performed at eleven different locations excluding our benefit and we had a great turnout of choir singers for each! We have over 40 active members at last counting.And with auditions next month we hope to add more to our fold.
Our kickstarter campaign was successful
We thus ask for your help in keeping the Choir’s music going strong. There are many ways to give, and just this fall, we have run a successful Kickstarter campaign to help the Choir raise funds to produce a first-ever CD of the music from its Fall 2013 season.
Remember that, for a donation of $100, you will receive two free tickets to our next benefit concert, and, for a donation of $250, you will receive two free tickets to each of our next two benefit concerts.
