The Woodberry Poetry Room invites you to join us on Election Eve (aka the night before the Election) for a generative evening of collaborative soundings and collective listening, featuring a series of participatory exercises (inspired by Pauline Oliveros) that will celebrate the relationship between freedom, fellowship, harmony, courage, utterance, and change. 

Led by Boston-based vocalist Erin Hogan and co-sponsored with her innovative arts-and-mindfulness organization K-I-N-D-R-E-D, the event will culminate in the learning of a range of powerful peace anthems (e.g. We Shall Overcome, Peace Like a River, and Blowin' in the Wind), which we will sing through the streets of Cambridge as we depart.

We know how distressing and unsettling this divisive Election season has been to our community (and to our country): we hope this evening will contribute in small and large ways to our collective well-being during this vital and challenging time.

The Enormous Chorus is open to everyone: no singing experience is required! 
 

LOCATION: Woodberry Poetry Room, Lamont Library, Room 330,
11 Quincy Street, Harvard University. Free and open to the public.
