Pihcintu – Multinational Girls Chorus will perform at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28, at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick.

Pihcintu welcomes immigrant children from all over the globe. 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! Recognizing the arrival of so many asylum seeking families to the Bath/Brunswick region, we are thrilled to be able to bring this multinational chorus to Brunswick.

Since its inception in 2006 the chorus has performed for over 300,000 live and hundreds of millions via broadcast and internet media. 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 songwriter, producer and performer.

The concert is sponsored by the Immigrant Justice Group of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick.

Doors open at 3:30. This is a free concert and seating will be on a first come first served basis. All children must be accompanied by an adult. For more information about the concert, contact Faith Barnes at faithb.56@gmail.com.
