Voices of Our City Choir opened for the event which featured artists like Jason Mraz, Robby Krieger & John Densmore of the Doors, Fitz & The Tantrums, Ingrid Michaelson & Maddie Poppe, Phillip Phillips, and morgxn. It was a dream come true!

HBC wrote, "Voices Of Our City Choir is truly making an impact out there! They are a nonprofit organization whose goal it is to transform the perception and experience of homelessness through the healing power of the arts. Since 2016, the choir has become an in-demand performance ensemble! One of the organization's greatest accomplishments to date is that it has helped 50 oftheir unsheltered members get off the streets and into safe shelter/housing. We are so glad they were a part of this special night!"

Our Concert with the Jerusalem Youth Chorus

During our concert with the Jerusalem Youth Chorus, we invited choir member Ayoe to the mic to share her story of going from homelessness to shelter. She is now looking for her own place and employment.

When speaking about the impact the choir has had on her life she said, "Music is like oxygen to me. This choir sustains me. They are my family."
