Why?

Proceeds benefit the VocalEssence Community Engagement Programs—WITNESS teaching artists and ¡Cantaré! composers make 200 classroom visits each school year, benefitting over 7,000 students throughout the metropolitan area.

WITNESS is one of the nation's premier initiatives celebrating the contributions of African Americans to our shared American heritage through concerts, recordings and comprehensive educational programs.

¡Cantaré! actively engages VocalEssence audiences and the wider community in the discovery, celebration and creation of music from Mexican traditions of the past and present.
