Mount Hope World Singers seeks to build community and foster intercultural understanding through engaging, high-quality, respectful performance of music in original languages from around the globe.
The chorus's repertoire is varied and often includes percussion. We happily collaborate with other artists including dancers, visual artists, composers, and other choral ensembles. We are passionate about bringing art into the community, particularly to underserved areas.
