Amandla is a community chorus.
We sing to celebrate life and to reflect and articulate social concerns.
We work to provide inspiration in the struggles for justice and peace.
We choose songs and source material from around the world to encourage diversity.
Anti-racism work has been a focus, but the group seeks to end oppression of all kinds.
Our goal is to enlighten as well as entertain.
In concert, we invite audience participation in order to
break down the boundaries between "performers" and "spectators."


The colorful sashes we wear in concert symbolize diversity and unity.

Amandla performs and conducts workshops at:
public events, prisons, places of worship, day care centers, nursing homes,
schools, and concert stages of all kinds, including Lincoln Center


Amandla is celebrating its 20th season in 2008!















"Amandla is the Zulu word for power, and this chorus is certainly powerful!"
