Windsong, Cleveland’s Feminist Chorus, is kicking off its 43rd year with a commitment to expanding equity and inclusion, which has always part of its mission. But it’s looking to increase racial and ethnic diversity within its own group and the way it performs.
Its upcoming event, “A Sing Out for Social Justice: Moving Toward Equity and Inclusion,” is less a concert than a community sing-out, with all welcome to participate. The material will be drawn from the Justice Choir Songbook, as wll as other sources, with songs that address issues such as race, gender identity, sexual orientation, immigration status and more. Windsong’s artistic director Jessica Steuver and other directors will teach the audience the songs with spoken word artists contributing introductions to some of them.
“We will be making music together, and learning justice songs so all participants leave filled with songs they can use in their personal work for inclusion and equity,” they say.
The free event is taking place at Cleveland State University’s Waetjen Auditorium. Doors are at 3; registration is requested here.
