SUMMARY:THE ENORMOUS CHORUS: Peace-Caroling on MLK Day
DESCRIPTION:The Woodberry Poetry Room and Kindred invite you to join us for 
 a generative evening of peace-caroling in Harvard Square. The event will 
 feature an opening invocation by Christina Davis\, brief readings from the 
 works of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, and a jubilant introduction to 
 collaborative sounding & collective listening led by Boston vocalist (and 
 force for the good) Erin Shea Hogan.\n\nFounded in November 2024\, The 
 Enormous Chorus offers poets\, activists\, artists\, members of the general 
 public (and singers and non-singers alike) the chance to come together to 
 learn a range of powerful\, iconic songs of peace and justice (e.g. "We 
 Shall Overcome\," "Ain't Gonna Study War No More\," "If I Had a Hammer\," 
 and "Imagine") and to spread goodwill by peace-caroling through the streets 
 of Harvard Square.\n\nA printout of lyrics will be provided to all 
 participants. We also encourage attendees to bring 10-15 copies of any 
 songs from your spiritual\, political or cultural traditions that you would 
 like to share with your fellow choristers.\n\nLocation: Friends 
 Meetinghouse\, 5 Longfellow Park\, Cambridge.\n\nWe will gather indoors to 
 learn the songs in the warm and welcoming meetinghouse. If it is 
 particularly cold\, we will host the bulk of the event indoors. 
 Peace-caroling will proceed from there (down Brattle Street) to Harvard 
 Square. The event will end near the Harvard Square T stop.\n\nSponsors: The 
 Enormous Chorus is sponsored by the Poetry Room/Harvard University\, in 
 partnership with Kindred. With special thanks to the Friends Meeting at 
 Cambridge\, for so generously making their space available for this event. 
 \n\n \n\nAdditional Info: Free and open to all. No singing experience (or 
 RSVP) is required. If you have additional questions\, we welcome you to 
 contact the organizer Christina Davis (davis2@fas.harvard.edu) and musical 
 director Erin Hogan (erinsheahogan@gmail.com). \n\n \n\nClick here\, for a
