The NSCP provides opportunities for Norfolk’s most vulnerable population to participate in the universally uplifting and encouraging practices of group singing and art-making, and is now an independent 501(c)(3) organization. The Norfolk Street Choir Project is currently open two days a week, providing hot breakfasts, showers, mail service, phone and document acquisition, creative expressive oppor
tunities, and regular, reliable access to numerous resources like medical care, housing opportunities, and clothing through community partners. The Norfolk Street Choir meets every Tuesday, participating in rehearsals that include vocal and musical instruction that imbues participants with confidence, purpose and community investment. The Expressive Arts Program meets on Fridays, its participants working both individually and collaboratively as they explore a variety of mediums, making emotional and social connections through creative expression. The NSCP presents a variety of public performances in and around the city. For those whose economic and social standing causes them to be overlooked and disregarded, our events provide a forum where our friends can “have a voice and be seen” encouraging and inspiring one another and the community at large through music and art.
“Can you see a ray of hope? One pale, thin ray reaching for the day… we can build a beautiful city, yes we can.
