We live near one another whether in houses, shelters, apartments, in cars or on streets. We are sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers. We have families, aspirations, and dreams. We may be experiencing homelessness, physical or emotional health challenges, financial crisis, or addiction. We have abilities and disabilities. Some are employed, others are without jobs or unable to work. We are charismatic and shy, courageous and determined, talented and hard-working. We laugh and cry and worry and believe. We feel anger and compassion, joy and despair. We awake every day and keep moving… to persevere, to rise up, to fully live in the neighborhood we inhabit. We are not defined by our challenges, but by our personhood. Our worth is not determined by our status or power, but by our having been created as complete persons… just like you. We are William. Karen. Cliff. Mike. Bob. Tracy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24733eb9f14e0001778973/1563551909447-DWXYRZ8GIP51X8LTPIHL/fullsizeoutput_45.jpg About Us - Our Streets are Songs We all travel on streets. On them, we get from one place to another, moving from here to there. Streets are a pathway of journey, discovery, and experience. From wherever we began, through whatever obstacles we have faced, we have lived the stories of the songs we sing. We sing of dreams and identity. We sing of betrayal and hurt. We sing about leaning on one another and about feeling alone. We sing about the promise of better days, and the determination to see today through. The roads and streets and boulevards we have traveled are songs. We know this because every week we sing them with full-throated conviction, with vibrating air carrying our stories from our hearts and lips to the world around us. The songs we sing are the stories of our streets. And they are the stories of your streets, too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24733eb9f14e0001778973/1563553158368-MT0XQ0N23WJ6RXA7T839/fullsizeoutput_3d.jpg About Us - we find Connections When you or I sing in a group with others, we recognize that we don’t have to walk alone with our burdens. When we sing in a group with others we realize that we have something important to offer – something beautiful and worthy of our effort. When we sing in a group with others we understand that we don’t have to be perfect to belong… that we can grow and learn and be valued even with our imperfections. When we sing in a group with others, we have a community that is safe, where we can contribute to something bigger than us. We are connected with our fellow singers… and with our leaders and volunteers and partner organizations. We are connected to our audiences and our entire community. We are a choir… connected by life and song. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24733eb9f14e0001778973/1563553020123-S4UBP6DAM8JSKZ84VAWV/20190519_160907.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24733eb9f14e0001778973/1563060712447-1Q9DF3MMFULP9VIKRNQV/image-asset.jpeg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24733eb9f14e0001778973/1563061371522-4DOBB4U9A71F2E28OXL7/50576439_2268421376732780_3805396377794510848_n.jpg About Us Norfolk Street Choir performing at annual Project Homeless Connect at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, VA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24733eb9f14e0001778973/1563277444179-FIS4OYKTY5RA6VJ7BY47/NAMVC+Logo+2019+png.png About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24733eb9f14e0001778973/1563280778500-N0VD10LF9IHR1IH8RTQQ/header.jpg About Us - A Valentine’s Day Origin By Robert Shoup Not every organization or program has such an easily pinpointed beginning as ours. On February 14, 2016, I was co-directing a brass choir concert program at Freemason Street Baptist Church, a congregation situated in the heart of Downtown Norfolk. The date had been the only one available to the musicians involved, so we constructed a program that would express love not in a romantic Valentine’s Day context, but in the vein of agape love – universal love for all of humankind. To set the tone for this event, a student from Old Dominion University was invited to speak about the role of music in marginalized communities. At the moment I heard her speak the words “homeless choirs,” my imagination was immediately energized. After more than two decades of leading choirs of all kinds, I had never heard of – let alone considered leading – a choir comprised of people experiencing homelessness. That was the spark – and in the months that followed, research led me to discover exceptional individuals around the world who were at the forefront of a new and exciting movement. With direct and generous input from Jonathan Palant of the Dallas Street Choir and Dónal Noonan of Atlanta’s Homeward Choir, a proposal was presented to the leadership of the church that summer, and The Norfolk Street Choir was launched in September. From the beginning, we have been gifted with involvement and input from the greater community, a hallmark that remains vital to our operation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24733eb9f14e0001778973/1563036217612-E1KCWPNBTNVYA4SW0Q3N/0302393.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24733eb9f14e0001778973/3dd56943-abe1-4fcb-b969-beac9c3bb1a2/svl.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24733eb9f14e0001778973/1563036157079-KERO66KRS3HZNBBYTI6Y/carl.jpg About Us https://www.thenorfolkstreetchoir.org/landingpage daily 1.0 2025-11-12 https://www.thenorfolkstreetchoir.org/needhelp daily 0.75 2019-07-17 https://www.thenorfolkstreetchoir.org/clothing daily 0.75 2019-07-16 https://www.thenorfolkstreetchoir.org/shelters daily 0.75 2019-07-17 https://www.thenorfolkstreetchoir.org/other-resources daily 0.75 2019-07-16 https://www.thenorfolkstreetchoir.org/food daily 0.75 2019-07-21 https://www.thenorfolkstreetchoir.org/singers-page daily 0.75 2021-11-18 https://www.thenorfolkstreetchoir.org/contact daily 0.75 2020-07-01 https://www.thenorfolkstreetchoir.org/coming-soon daily 0.75 2019-11-13 https://www.thenorfolkstreetchoir.org/about-intro-mojave daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56e049e08a65e26059119cd5/1460489042652-1Y6DERCYU4NPNC9UJSTP/EmptyName-48.jpg About Intro
