MPR's Karl Gehrke reports that the personal stories of several Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity homeowners have been turned into songs for Minnesota Chorale "Sing Me a Home" concert. The performance is part of the chorale's outreach program called "Bridges."
The concert features four local high school choirs singing newly-commissioned works by area composers with texts written by students. One of the songs tells the story of a man who escaped war-torn Somalia and found a new life for his family in St. Paul.
