Bridges of Song
South Hills Children’s Choir (SHCC) is
hosting the annual “Bridges of Song” with
teaching artist Dr. Joy Hirokawa, Director
of the Bel Canto Youth Choir. Joined by the
Pittsburgh Youth Chorus, Pittsburgh Girls
Choir, and Giovani Voci, SHCC shares
a day of choral singing and camaraderie
open to all local youth. It will take place
on March 21, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.,
at St. David’s Episcopal Church in
Peters Township.
This event is meant to build bridges of
understanding through friendship and the
richness of a choir community. Constant
interface with technology erodes societal
relationships; singing develops them.
Journalist Cassandra Sheppard notes that
“singing in groups triggers the communal
release of serotonin and oxytocin, the
bonding hormone, and even synchronizes
our heartbeats. Group singing literally
incentivized the community over an
‘each cave dweller for themselves’
approach. Those who sang together
were strongly bonded...”
During Bridges of Song, a healthy lunch
will be provided by Heisler’s Market,
Trader Joe’s, Eat’n Park, Starbucks–
McMurray, Chick-fil-A, and local bakeries.
The day concludes with a free performance
conducted by Dr. Hirokawa. Choristers
will learn ASL in “Can You Hear Me?” by
Bob Chilcott,
recount
WWII
memories in
“Homeland”
by Randall Stroope, and enjoy a new work
by Dr. Hirokawa. The public is welcome.
Interested singers should register at
shcchoir.org/bridges.html.
