Mosaic Harmony Spring 2016 Concert "We Can Do the Impossible!" on Sunday April 24

OAKTON, Va. - Feb. 25, 2016 - PRLog -- Mosaic Harmony, an award winning interfaith, multicultural community choir, is pleased to announce their 2016 spring fundraising concert themed "We Can Do the Impossible!" in celebration of 22 years of service to the Washington metropolitan area, will take place on Sunday, April 24, 2016 at 4:00pm.

The concert will once again be held at their "home" where it all began in 1993 at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Fairfax ("UUCF") in Oakton, VA. Each year the choir introduces new songs to their audience, and, features a few favorites from previous seasons in front of what is expected to be another capacity audience. Over the past 21 seasons, the annual concert has occasionally featured local area gospel artists who are nationally known and who bring the spirit of what Mosaic Harmony endeavors – to unify the world one song at a time.  The compilation of songs performed range from traditional and contemporary African-American gospel selections to original music written by their dynamic and talented director.  The highlight of their choral season, it is the group's largest fundraising effort, coupled with a small silent auction that will be showcased 45 minutes prior to the concert featuring vacation homes, sports and concert tickets, various custom handcrafted works, restaurant gift certificates and more.

Mosaic Harmony’s concerts are high-energy, inspiring performances that leave their audiences feeling uplifted and encouraged.  Bringing together people of diverse cultures, ages, backgrounds, and more than 25 faith traditions to celebrate humanity, is Mosaic Harmony’s vision to be a source of inspiration on a local, national, and global level.  The theme of the 2015-2016 season has been about continuing to bridge harmony and partnerships, clearly aligning the mission and vision of Mosaic Harmony.  In 2011, a short documentary filmed by Perfect Bind Productions' LeeAnn Dance was completed and is available on the choir’s website homepage. as well as clips from the choir's three CD's.  This season, the choir returned to the recording studio to work on a compilation of songs, which will feature Mosaic Harmony and three other Northern Virginia community choruses – the Olam Tikvah Chorale, Los Quetzales Choir, and the NOVA Japanese Choir. The four choirs will participate in a concert on June 12 "Friends in Harmony" with the accompanying CD given to attendees, which is the result of a generous 2015 Project Grant to Mosaic Harmony from the Arts Council of Fairfax County intended to illustrate the broad diversity of Fairfax County’s population.

During the past twenty-plus years, the choir has performed for the Martin Luther King Jr. celebration programs at the Washington Hospital Center, Holy Cross Hospital, a holiday performance in 1999 on the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, four consecutive performances at the Pentagon, festival performance at Mary Washington College, a record fourteen consecutive performances at Mt. Zion Methodist church in Hamilton, Virginia, performances at DC Intersections, Family Matters of DC, and at the headquarters of Discovery Communications in Silver Spring, MD for Black History Month. Additionally, the choir has assisted groups in raising tens of thousands of dollars for various charities including Coats for Kids, Capital Hospice, Buganda University, the Brain Tumor Foundation, the Lakota Nation and Habitat for Humanity, as well as many other notable charitable causes. Their performances have provided encouragement, inspiration and hope to families in hospice care, residents of mental health facilities, residents living in retirement communities, and to the public.

Mosaic Harmony members prepare the entire season for their spring concert and often members who took sabbaticals for the season return to volunteer as spring concert staff.  Tickets are $25 and will be available on their website beginning March 1. In addition, sponsorship opportunities for the concert program book are available ranging from $100 to $2500.  For more information on the choir, booking a concert and upcoming concerts, visit the website at www.mosaicharmony.org
