The Orcas Peace Chorus is now Sing Peace! Orcas
Join us for the Orcas Peace Chorus!
Led by Michael Hurwicz and Sharon Abreu, at the Episcopal Parish Hall in Eastsound.
We sing songs from around the world that express and envision peace and help us feel more peaceful in ourselves, songs to buoy us up and give us hope, songs of longing, and songs that are just fun. We come together to sing in harmony for personal, local and global transformation. We sing to open our hearts, re-enchant our spirits, and connect with each other.
We are an all-inclusive, non-audition community choir. All voices are welcome, and no singing experience is required.
Sunday, Nov. 11th
On Sunday, Nov. 11th, 2018 (Armistice Day) at 10:45am, we met at the Episcopal Parish Hall (where we usually got together), sang a couple of songs for folks having coffee after the Episcopal service, then went over to Benson Hall just across the lawn and sang for the Unitarian service. We were be done by 12:30pm, though we stayed for snacks after the Unitarian service. We also brought snacks. It was great to be with you there!
