Credo's mission is rooted not only in the power of music, but also in community, learning, equality, and in sharing one's fortunes with others.
JOIN CREDO
"Welcome to the streets, my bright-eyed friend!"
Join Credo this spring to sing the premiere of "Shelter Me: An Original Rock Oratorio".
Credo rehearses two Sunday evenings each month on the campus of the University of Texas at Dallas. No audition is required. Rehearsals begin January 12th.
Follow the poignant journey of a young man suddenly finding himself without shelter and navigating the unforgiving streets. His steadfast companion is an older man well-versed in the trials of homelessness, having weathered its challenges for a significant portion of his life.
“Shelter Me” is a semi-staged choral oratorio inspired by the lives of Dallas Street Choir members and will be performed by the Dallas Street Choir, Credo, and the UT Dallas choirs.
