On Friday, March 9th at 6:30pm, Park Church will be hosting the Destiny Africa Children's Choir from Uganda. They will be performing a concert featuring African singing, dancing, drumming, and story-telling. They are an internationally known group who have performed all over the world-- including for the Queen and Prime Minister of Britain!
Here is a little more about the group:
Destiny Africa is a children's choir from Uganda that will be touring New England from March to June 2012. Destiny Africa choir members are 10 to 16 year old boys and girls who are orphans from Uganda and their choir has performed in the USA, UK, and Europe. They began performing publicly in 2007 and have since performed for the Prime Minister of the UK, and for the Queen’s birthday!
The children are dynamic singers and dancers that love sharing their talents with others. Despite the trauma in these children's lives from surviving in a country torn apart by civil wars and losing their parents to violence, diseases, and poverty - the children want to share their talents and hope for a better world. Destiny Africa will be performing throughout New England (providing 150 performances). Children and their families attending the performances will learn about the culture and life in Uganda, and will be directly impacted by the choir members' inspiration and hope.
