Hope Arts Center is delighted to introduce a new friendship with ComMUSICation, a Twin Cities nonprofit dedicated to providing free music education and performance opportunities to youth. This July, House of Hope will host ComMUSICation’s Summer Gospel Choir Camp. Open to youth in grades 3–12, this free program is an opportunity to meet Gospel musicians, learn harmonies, and explore the powerful history and impact of Gospel music. Participants will have the chance to perform with a live band at major community events like Rondo Days and VFest at Hallie Q. Brown Community Center.

ComMUSICation was founded in 2013 to make high quality after-school music programs accessible to youth. At CMC, music is the special language that builds confidence, community, and capacity for change. Participants learn life
and leadership skills, build community across schools and cultures, and perform frequently in amazing locations. Learn more here.
