NORWAY — The Second Congregational Church will host the Pihcintu Multinational Children’s Chorus of Portland on Saturday, April 29.
The concert will be held in the church sanctuary at 205 Main St. Doors open at 2:30 p.m. and the concert starts at 3 p.m.
There will be a reception following the performance when the audience can meet members of the chorus. The suggested donation is $10 for adults and $5 for students. Proceeds will be shared with the chorus and the church’s fund to aid local mission work.
The chorus, directed by Con Fullam, is comprised of young women from Cambodia, China, Congo, El Salvador, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Uganda, Vietnam, British West Indies and Zambia, along with children whose families have lived here for generations.
Through the healing power of music, the chorus offers these immigrant children an opportunity to help restart their lives. They have performed on the “Today Show” and at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., for World Refugee Day. Their name, Pihcintu, comes from the Passamaquoddy word meaning “when she sings, her voice carries far.”
Tickets are available at the church office, 207-743-2290, or Books N Things on Main Street in Norway.
