Olympia Peace Choir
The Olympia Peace Choir will host an MLK-inspired performance in the Capitol Rotunda on January 17 from 12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. The concert will featuer a Turkish Laz work song, “Heyamo.” It tells the story of the Laz minority group separated from family by the natural borders established during a Soviet takeover. In order to see family, the Laz would have to travel one thousand miles by land rather than merely crossing the river. Some choir members are also talented musicians and have formed a Klezmer band to accompany this piece. This performance, as are all the Peace Choir performances, is open to the public.
