A fantastic mission in Miami--a little league organization for choirs:Shawn Crouch wants to bring the magic of music to needy youngsters as the newly appointed foundation director of Seraphic Fire's Miami Choral Project.
The newly started Miami Choral Project is funded by a $684,500 grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. It is a tuition-free program that creates a "little league-type" network of choral ensembles for children in low-income areas in Miami-Dade.
"We want to better low-income communities through participation in choral singing," Crouch said. "Children who sing together are taught important life skills: how to listen to one another, how to work as a team and how to strive for their personal best, adding their voice for the benefit of the choir as a whole. We will nurture these life skills through music and help foster them outside of rehearsal into the child's community."
