During the Fall semester we will also learn songs to sing in the community which relate to our region, the history of our region, and the communities who currently reside in the Hudson Valley. In addition to working on sight singing and good choral technique we'll learn songs from the Shakers, the Dutch, the Native American tradition, sailing songs, Spanish songs, songs of rural life, and more! In lieu of our annual Mid-Winter concert we will sing at festivals, farmer's markets, at our local radio station, and for family events in the area.

The seven-day festival encourages people to think about their African roots as well as their life in present day America. Kwanzaa is based on early African festivals and the word means "the first fruits." The first night of Kwanzaa, Umoja (unity), represents striving for and maintaining unity in the family, community, nation and race.

There will be a candle lighting ceremony and the sharing of the Nguzo Saba, the seven principles of Kwanzaa, by community members and a performance students from Kuumba Dance and Drum students as they involve the audience with lively music and dance. After the Celebration, participants will be invited to stay for a light “Karamu” supper, by Hazel’s Kitchen. Children’s craft will be available and Kuumba drummers will be on hand.

Operation Unite/New York is a community based education and cultural arts center, located at 360 Columbia Street in Hudson which offers educational, cultural and social programs including instruction in the performing arts, with free participation for youth.
