Ware Lecture: Harvesting Hope Through Social Consciousness
Holly Near has practiced the art of activism for over 30 years but her work is informed by over a century of social change movements. Political challenges, critical thinking and spiritual guidance fuel her leadership. She inspires the choir so that the choir might inspire the world.
Holly Near was born to parents from North Dakota and New York who were political activists, ranchers, and supporters of culture in the rural community of Ukiah, California. Holly moves comfortably in this blend of west coast sensibility and east coast sophistication. An immense vocal talent, Near's career as a singer has been profoundly defined by an unwillingness to separate her passion for music from her passion for human dignity. Holly Near is an ambassador for peace inviting the audience to its best self. She is a skilled performer who brings to the stage an integration of world consciousness, spiritual discovery, and theatricality.
