Cambridge Common Voices to Perform at CP Community Day
The neurodiverse vocal ensemble will give two performances
Cambridge Common Voices (CCV), a neurodiverse singing group based in Cambridge, MA, will perform at the Weinberg Family Cerebral Palsy Center's inaugural CP Community Day on Saturday, June 8th, 2024. CCV is a community chorus established in partnership between Harvard College and the Threshold Program at Lesley University, a transition program for young adults with diverse learning challenges. Formed in 2018, the group's mission is to create an inclusive musical space, affirming individual voices and exploring innovative approaches to music- making.
Music That Makes Community
The group sings a variety of genres from ’80s pop to the Beach Boys, in addition to more traditional arrangements. For CP Community Day, they have carefully selected twelve songs which fit perfectly with the day, including the uplifting number "Work to be Done" written by Sarah Nutting. See the video below on their performance of this song, a reminder that there is work to be done, and it will take all of us collaborating to accomplish it. Its the perfect opener to their lineup!
