   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, the 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 also performs on piano and flute in several contra dance bands, a Brazilian forró band (Mr. Bidu's Circus), a swing trio (LaTiDo), and a Basque band (Ospa).

   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 led teams of educators, musicians and Arabic speakers who taught music to refugee youth in Europe and the Middle East.
