      A Women’s Choir member arranges table settings at Catholic Charities’ Mardi Gras. Choir members volunteered to help set up and clean up at the event.

      When female singers raise their voices carrying songs of hope, home and overcoming diversity in the 14th annual Her Story, Her Song, they’ll do so knowing they’re helping women and their young children find permanent housing.

      Women's Choir members help bake caramel rolls for a Domus Transitional Housing fundraiser.

      The performance is part of the 2014-15 Creative Arts Series, a set of events and performances both on and off campus in the School of the Arts’ four disciplines — art, music, theater and film.

      The Cantabile Girls’ Choir is made up of middle-school age girls and is part of the music department’s Preparatory Program.

      In addition to partnering with Domus Transitional Housing on Her Story, Her Song, choir members volunteered throughout the semester to help raise funds for the program. In January they volunteered to set-up and clean-up for Catholic Charities’ Mardi Gras, which raises funds for emergency services for Domus.

      Women’s Choir members gathered baking supplies for a caramel roll sale and helped to bake and sell the rolls raising more than $900.

      In March Cantabile members gathered donations for Move Out Baskets for women and children transitioning into permanent housing this April, both choirs will volunteer to assemble the baskets. The students will also give presentations on their partnership with Domus and address how music can be used to affect social change.
