“Performing Shalom Through Music and Storytelling,” facilitated through Gordon College’s Adams School of Music and the Arts, was birthed to address the challenges posed by Boston’s diverse Christian landscape and seeks to overcome cultural, linguistic and theological barriers to promote unity and understanding through collaborative arts. This grant will enable the program to develop a multi-denominational choir to perform in diverse churches, offer storytelling sessions, along with visual arts workshops and a documentary.
At its core, the project will prioritize the voices of immigrant and marginalized communities, providing a platform to share unique stories and perspectives. Each element is designed to engage participants wholly—mentally, physically and spiritually—and act as a conduit for expressing and living out Shalom.
