Topic: Building communities one song at a time, with Camille Saucier
This evening will highlight the powerful ripple effect of one idea—how a shared love for singing can transform communities and enrich lives. Camille’s story will inspire you to pursue your own passions and witness their impact.
Join us for an inspiring evening of music and conversation as we dine together and hear from local choral conductor Camille Saucier. Over 25 years ago, Camille launched a community choral program in Saco, creating opportunities for people of all ages to come together through song. Her journey reveals how music fosters unity among singers and forges connections among individuals who might never have otherwise crossed paths.
Camille founded Voices in Harmony in 2001, a vibrant community choral program that has offered international tours since 2011. For the past four years, she has also led the 115-voice Portland Community Chorus, bringing her passion for music to even larger audiences.
