A live documentary experience hosted by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Andrew Hinton
When we gather to sing, something shifts. From sea shanties to protest songs, from lullabies to healing chants - throughout history and across every culture, human beings have turned to song.
But what is it that singing offers us - as a form of expression, as a means of communication, as a way of being together - that nothing else quite can?
Why We Sing is an evening of short films and music exploring one of the most powerful and often overlooked dimensions of song: singing with purpose.
Curated and hosted by filmmaker Andrew Hinton, the program is part screening, part celebration - a chance to watch, listen and occasionally join in.
All ages are welcome, and you don't need to be able to carry a tune. Come and experience a unique musical journey through human song that heals, unites, grieves, rallies and connects us to something bigger than ourselves.
