The past few months have been difficult for all of us. We truly miss not being able to sing together and perform for you. As you know, choirs are especially vulnerable to spreading COVID-19, so we are discussing alternative ways to safely rehearse that would enable us to prepare for eventual performances.

In these times of uncertainty in our nation and throughout the world, we are also shaken by current events. We stand with other arts organizations in the U.S. and worldwide to affirm our continued commitment to social justice and diversity, as stated below:

Bloomington Chamber Singers affirms our commitment to social justice.

Throughout our history, Bloomington Chamber Singers has performed music that enlightens the soul and transforms lives. We believe that music can be a powerful platform for social change. Our members share a deep sense of pride, passion, and belonging that honors a diverse tapestry, and are unified in our shared commitment to excellence, integrity, and inclusion.

We will not be silent and will listen to the voices of the oppressed. We will not be silent and will sing music that helps to transform the human spirit, expand awareness, and pursue a vision of justice for people of all races, cultures, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

Never our despair,
Never the least of us,
Never turn away,
Never hide your face;
Ordinary boy,
only all of us,
Free us from our fear.
