DENMARK — Denmark Arts Center welcomes Pihcintu Multi-National Girls’ Chorus this Saturday, May 3 at 5 p.m.

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.

The power of survival eases but never erases the memory of unthinkable atrocities, physical danger and personal tragedy. Portland, Maine, an ever-expanding international resettlement community, was fertile ground to bring together children from diverse backgrounds to sing as one.

Con Fullam, award-winning producer, musician, and songwriter, combined his passion for music with a deep concern for the e ect of world issues on children – creating The Chorus with the help of countless supporting souls from all walks of life.

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. The children and their music are transformative. Being in their presence is a life-enhancing experience and they touch the hearts of all who hear them!

Since its inception in 2006, the chorus has performed for over 300,000 live and hundreds of millions via broadcast and internet media including the Today Show, National Public Radio, Voice of America, Al Jazeera, Univision, UN TV and You Tube. They have appeared at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington, D.C., The National Cathedral, Washington, D.C. and the United Nations, New York, New York to name but a few of the venues. Over the course of time over 300 girls representing 40 countries have passed through the chorus with 100% high school graduation and 85% post-secondary education.

Pihcintu was founded by Con Fullam a five-time Emmy Nominated television producer and a multi- award winning song writer, producer and performer.
