Presented by Common Thread Community Chorus
Saturday May 25 - 1:30pm and 7:30pm
“Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic and we will change the world.”
This last message of Jack Layton inspired the selection of repertoire this year. The universal theme of working together to make the world a better place filled with hope, love and optimism, is sorely needed today. We all need reasons to look to the future in a positive way. Imagining a better world that is peaceful, fair and just, is universal no matter what your political affiliation might be. We tried to choose repertoire that is positive, hopeful and optimistic and as a social justice choir, we hope it inspires all of us to take action to make the world a better place.
