Ever wondered what it’s like to work at the Cultural Alliance? We’ll introduce you to members of our staff! This month the spotlight is on Hanifah Jones, our social media assistant!

Job Title: Social Media Assistant

Job Responsibilities: Assisting the strategic communications manager.

Degrees/certificates: B.A. in Digital Multimedia Journalism from Susquehanna University

Past experience working in arts and culture: My experience working in arts and culture actually began with the GPCA! During high school I was a member of the STAMP Teen Council. I worked in the costume shop for my university’s theater department and occasionally worked backstage during productions. After graduation I briefly worked at a creative experience agency that worked with various museums across the country.

Favorite thing about working at the Cultural Alliance (so far): I really enjoy learning about the different cultural events going on in the city.

Favorite cultural institutions/attractions/events: Growing up in Philly, I always loved the Franklin Institute. I have so many wonderful memories of different exhibits and learning about science in a fun, hands-on way.

A fun fact about yourself: I once recorded an audio tour for the Philadelphia Zoo!

    The Chester Children’s Chorus: Respect & Requiem

    The Chester Children’s Chorus uses the joy of choral music to give the children of Chester tools to succeed in our complex world. The children love singing Aretha’s Respect. They love its powerful lyrics and driving rhythms.  And CCC members love singing Mozart’s Requiem. They love the fiery end-times poetry, along with Mozart’s dramatic musical architecture, driving rhythms, and heartbreakingly tragic harmony.  Respect is part of the children’s cultural fabric.  With their CCC experience, Requiem also becomes part of the children’s identity.  Together, Respect and Requiem teach Chester’s children about the power of excellence.
