February 2021 - A new virtual outreach program – “With Love”
Available for use by nursing homes, senior centers, hospitals,
and other communities in need of the restorative power of music.
We invite you to sing along
Welcome to a 28-minute Holiday Show for 2020, a compilation of choir music celebrating the year-end holiday season, including songs about Christmas, Chanukah and Kwanzaa. These songs were recorded at previous live concerts. Enjoy! To learn more about the choir visit: www.peaceofheartchoir.org.
Presenting “Singing for our Lives,”
a social justice musical program from The Peace of Heart Choir
This is our first-ever virtual outreach effort, designed for use by nursing homes, hospitals, senior centers, and other communities in need. Since Peace of Heart Choir cannot come and sing in person, we send these songs, hoping to help lift spirits, build community, and inspire hope.
We hope to deliver new programs like this at regular intervals, until we can resume our traditional outreach performances. For more information, contact us at peaceofheartchoir.org. And enjoy.

We inspired people to sing from their windows, terraces, doorsteps, and rooftops.
Spanning over two decades of music, the choir has performed using a multi-language repertoire featuring diverse genres and musical traditions from around the world. Since 2014, our concerts have been recorded by audience and choir members. One of our members has compiled three comprehensive YouTube playlists of video recorded live from our benefit concerts in the 2017 Spring, 2016 Winter/Holiday, 2016 Spring , 2015 Winter/Holiday, and 2014 Winter/Holiday Seasons.
