The No.1 limitation in giving this program to the millions of kids in need is funding. Please pledge to urban harmony. . . . An Urban Harmony group made up of students from Skyline High in Oakland and Galileo High in San Francisco will perform a cappella tunes at the second annual Voices Against Violence Youth Summit. The event, to be held on October 24th at the Clarion Hotel in South San Francisco, brings together San Mateo high school youth for a day of discussion about how to combat violence in their communities. The concert, which will also include a performance by a UHM mentor group called APEX, will follow a day of action planning and breakout discussions on topics like gangs, youth unemployment, weapons, and prejudice.
All Stars are teen singers that hail from all over the Bay Area.
Participants in their local UHM a cappella program during the academic year, they come together during the summertime to explore more challenging music and hone their performance skills. And, this summer they're taking the Bay Area by storm. With a repertoire that ranges from Sweet Honey in the Rock to Michael Jackson and everything in between, the All Stars have been crowd-pleasers at a number of summer events already, including the San Leandro Cherry Festival and impromptu coffeehouse and BART sings. They are now looking forward to a couple of very exciting performance opportunities in August. Come check the group out from 1 to 4 p.m., at the Central Court of the Bayfair Mall, and show your support for both the Urban Harmony Movement and these talented teens, who have accomplished so much this summer.
