“A practice borne out of centuries of tradition - choral music sung by choirs brings a sense of community, inspires harmony and peace. The Church of Scientology Choir, re-formed in 2011, have increased their outreach in the community bringing a message of equality, freedom, human rights, and the value of man,” said Linda Ferguson, the Church of Scientology Choir Executive Director.
In 2016, the choir grew from thirteen members to over twenty; practiced 1,600 combined hours and delivered 18 performances to over 1,000 guests, surpassing all previous records.
The celebration acknowledged the members of the choir for their dedication and performances. As part of the event, members recounted the history of Scientology choirs from England to Germany and in the early 90’s in Clearwater, Florida.
Last year, the choir performed at the Clearwater Interfaith Coalition’s International Day of Peace, the Citizens Commission on Human Rights Awards banquet, the Church of Scientology’s Winter Wonderland in downtown Clearwater and as a Holiday “Flash Mob” on Cleveland street taking the neighborhood by surprise.
“Our choir is a wonderful group who really enjoy what they do, uplifting others with music,” said Amber Skjelset, Manager of the Scientology Information Center.
The Choir’s next community performance will be on January 21 st at the Historic Fort Harrison Crystal Ballroom for this year’s first Interfaith Discussion and Brunch.
