When the challenges and sorrows of the world are too much to carry alone, we can come together to give voice to our pain and our hope.

This is a fundamental belief behind the Justice Choir Songbook, assembled in 2017 through the efforts of the Twin Cities choral community to collect songs that speak to the issues of our time. They have shared the songbook freely with the goal of building a grassroots movement to engage in the empathetic, collaborative, and collective power of singing together to create change.

Every week, the members of Berkshire Concert Choir gather to share our love of singing and build bonds with friends and neighbors. We reflect on carefully chosen repertoire that opens the door for reflection, conversation, and connection—a practice that ultimately draws us closer together and sparks ways we can serve our wider community.

This Sunday, February 15th, we invite you to join us at Hot Plate Brewing, in honor of Pittsfield’s 10×10 Upstreet Arts Festival and Hot Plate’s release of one of their ten small batch beers. We will sing together to raise our voices with calls for justice and change, and messages of solidarity and hope.

Admission is free – no ticket needed!
