The GRWC is excited to present a 10-movement dramatic cantata celebrating the life and legacy of Pauli Murray, a pioneering Black legal scholar, civil rights activist, feminist, poet, labor organizer, LGBTQI+ advocate, and the first Black female Episcopal priest. Through the transformative power of choral music and storytelling, we will illuminate Pauli Murray’s profound impact on American history. In conjunction, GRWC is offering community workshops exploring Murray’s groundbreaking ideas on Intersectionality and her advocacy for race and gender equality.

Through the theme of resilience and overcoming adversity, we explore how marginalized communities persevere and advocate for change despite obstacles. We sing about empathy and understanding and the importance of listening to people’s stories, listening so that our synapses are firing so we won’t be fooled by untruths.
Ultimately, this season calls us to stand by our neighbors when they need us most: to stand up, speak out, and draw strength from unity and collective action as we work together to create meaningful, positive change. We hope you will join us.

Nothing beats the magic of a live musical performance, even if it’s on video! Our concert videos capture the passion and talent of our singers as they interpret our unique repertoire. With lush harmonies, foreign languages, social justice themes and pure fun we strive to educate and inspire our community to promote justice, peace and equality.

Sing with us, volunteer or book us for an event. There are plenty of ways to get involved with our work. GRWC relies on the generous support of our community and fans. We could not bring our musical message of justice, peace and equality to the Grand Rapids area without your support and involvement.
