   Founded in 1999, the World Harmony Chorus performs vocal music
   from around the world. The WHC is a community chorus, open to
   singers at all levels of ability and experience. Drawn from a
   wide variety of ethnic sources and folk traditions, including
   hymns from Madagascar and Zimbabwe, Eastern European kolos,
   Latin American choral works, and English and American folk music,
   their repertoire is exciting and rich with harmony and polyrhythm.

   Founder and director Daniel Steinberg has been collecting choral
   music and leading "Instant Harmony" workshops around the country
   for many years. He is a member of the popular Bay Area
   traditional music group, Hillbillies from Mars, with whom he
   performs on piano and flute.

   The East Bay chorus is directed by Betsy Blakeslee.  Betsy has
   directed choruses in SF Bay Area and the Balkans.  Her Balkan
   chorus performed at the State of the World Forum and the
   UN Millennium Summit.  She spends summers leading a team of

   artists and musicians that teach music, body rhythm, and art therapy

   to refugee youth in Europe and the Middle East.
