Sing for Japan

If you are like me, when disaster or tragedy strikes the world community, after the shock subsides, there is a helplessness that sets in related to how we can fully empathize, react, and help. We look at what we do for a living and ask the question, “How does what we do make a difference?” or “How could what we do help?” This was how the project Sing for Japan came into being.

Some of our choral colleagues have found a way to surround our Japanese friends in this time of need by using our singing, our concerts, and other choral activity as a way to raise and donate money forJapanese relief? They have done this by constructing a way we could do so by using Japanese music.

Thanks to the hard work of some of our iinternational choral friends, renowned composer-conductor Ko Matsushita has donated four choral pieces to the Sing for Japan project. When you or your choir make a donation, you can request a score of your choice as a “thank you” gift! This initiative gives us the opportunity to tell our friends in Japan, “you are not alone!”
