Follen Youth and Children’s Choir Members! You are an essential part of the Urban Church Music Friendships Initiative. In our collaboration with Roxbury’s Hamilton-Garrett Music & Arts Academy Choir, we’ll be singing songs that highlight racial injustice, civil rights protest, the African-American spiritual tradition, and the universal quest for freedom. For this inspiring undertaking, you’ll participate in the following events:

• Monday March 25, 4:45-6:15pm – Youth and Children’s Choir, Sacred Heart
• Wednesday March 27, 5:00-6:30pm – Rehearsal, Charles Street AME, Roxbury
• Saturday March 30, 10am-12:30pm – Dress rehearsal, Follen
• Sunday March 31, 9am (rehearsal) and 10:30 service, Follen

By Monday, February 25, please sign up for these important activities. In the spirit of mutual respect, and as welcoming hosts, you are asked to commit singers to all rehearsals as well as to the service. If an unavoidable schedule conflict prevents you from being present at one of the rehearsals, or the service, please specify that on the form and confer with Director of Music Vivian Montgomery (musicdirector@follen.org).
