Communities in Harmony:
A World Singing Project

Presented by Common Measure

MISSION
Communities in Harmony (CiH) is a one-day, pop-up choir experience that brings together people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to sing in harmony—no musical training required. Our goal is to build community, foster joy, and support collective healing through the universal language of music.

HOW IT WORKS
Participants gather for a half-day workshop where they learn, rehearse, and ultimately perform a single uplifting song together. Led by skilled facilitators, these events are designed to be welcoming, judgment-free, and inclusive—emphasizing process over perfection.

OUR IMPACT

• Creates social connection and emotional healing through music

• Engages underserved and rural communities with accessible, live music

• Encourages community pride and collaboration across differences

• Sparks joy and builds confidence in participants of all ages

WHY NOW?
In a time of division and disconnection, singing together is a radical act of unity. Our project taps into music’s power to heal, affirm, and connect.

GROWTH VISION
CiH seeks to bring this experience to 10+ cities annually, with a focus on communities historically excluded from arts access. Future events will be offered free of charge, thanks to sponsorships, grants, and community support.

GET INVOLVED
We’re seeking partners, venues, and supporters—including arts funders and local foundations—who believe in music’s ability to transform lives.
