    Yes You Chorus is a Cultural Inclusion Project of VSA Massachusetts and is sponsored by The Seven Hills Foundation.

    The Yes You Chorus:
    - Welcomes you if you can't "carry a tune" or make "pretty sounds"
    - Welcomes you if you work too hard and want to relax with friends
    - Welcomes you a little late if you're coming from work, etc.
    - Welcomes you if you have a physical or developmental challenge
    - Asks no one to read music or even words
    - Is Easy but also Fun, Interesting, Creative, & Emotionally Moving
    - Sings songs from 1830-1930 that should never be forgotten
    - Also sings newer songs, and songs we make up ourselves
    - Performs for people who need their spirits lifted
    - Is one heck of a good musical time!
