Welcoming immigrant children from around
the globe, The Pihcintu Multicultural
Chorus helps restart young lives.
War-torn villages, bloodshed, refugee camps,
famine, and political turmoil were devastating
realities for many of these young singers before
being embraced by the warmth, companionship
and harmony that Pihcintu provides.
This unique chorus of young women from
Cambodia, China, Congo, El Salvador, Egypt,
Kazakhstan, Kenya, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia,
Somalia, Sudan, Uganda, Viet Nam, British West
Indies, and Zambia, along with children whose
families have been here for generations, have
formed a powerful and permanent bond. Through
the healing power of music, these vulnerable, yet
brave, young women have learned to trust, hope
and laugh again.
"What a gorgeous, gorgeous
chorus you have – what beautiful
voices … isn't it incredible –
BRAVO!"
– YoYo Ma
"ese young women
are an inspiration to
us all."
– Rachel Talbott Ross - Maine State Direc-
tor NAACP
