Mount Hope World Singers seeks to build community and to foster intercultural understanding through engaging, high quality, respectful performance of music in original languages from The Mount Hope World Singers (MHWS) of Rochester, New York is a community chorus rooted in the harmony singing of world song traditions. The chorus was formed to celebrate the rich diversity of world cultures and to f
oster community in the midst of that diversity. Our repertoire is quite varied and often includes instrumental accompaniment such as piano, cello, percussion, flute, and violin. In addition, we happily collaborate with other artists including dancers, solo vocalists, and other choral ensembles. We rehearse in the Spring and the Fall (3 months each season) and perform several concerts after each rehearsal period. In the past, performance venues have included public schools, churches, senior living centers, and the Rochester Psychiatric Center. We have also participated in many community events including the William Warfield Scholarship Celebration, AIDS Awareness Day, the Rochester Central Library, and the Rochester People's Climate Coalition March for Global Climate Action. Rehearsals are held at 4 East Henrietta Road, Rochester, NY, at the Community of the Savior on Sundays from 2:00 - 4:00 pm. No auditions are required.
