The Sacred Summer Music Series invites choirs from around Bay Area to Stanford Memorial Church each year to share their gifts and talents in a town and gown worship that celebrates the rich cultural heritages of the Bay Area. Each week we will host a different choir with sacred readings and prayers in worship and rejoice together in our Summer of Sacred Joy!

Mixed Chorus Kakehashi has its origin in a parent chorus group of the San Francisco Japanese School which started in 2007 and performed annually at the Japanese school’s special event. They normally met for only a few months of the year. In Spring 2011, many members who wished to continue singing throughout the year gathered and extended their activities beyond the Japanese school. The new group was named Mixed Chorus Kakehashi. Kakehashi means a bridge connecting two sides with differences, such as people, countries, and cultures.
