All the Rivers is a global ensemble of 20+ immigrant musicians from 10 countries who now call Vermont home. Singing in six languages and weaving musical traditions from around the world, we amplify immigrant voices through performance, storytelling, and education.

What began as a one-time artistic collaboration has grown into something much larger — a touring ensemble, a body of original music, and an immigrant-led movement rooted in dignity, belonging, and collective voice.

Over the past year, we’ve brought communities across Vermont together in song and story — culminating in a major benefit concert at The Flynn. Now we’re stepping into our next chapter, growing this Vermont-rooted movement into a national platform through touring, recording, and film.

Why This Matters

As immigrant communities face growing political and social threats, a shift in cultural narrative becomes essential. Immigrant communities are under attack and the dominant lens fails to reflect the amazing gifts, richness, and humanity that our global friends contribute to American society.

Music builds belonging. It shifts how people see their neighbors. It creates connection where division once lived.

We are proud to collaborate with leading organizations like Migrant Justice and the Association of Africans Living in Vermont, who provide critical direct services and advocacy. All the Rivers contributes to this ecosystem in a complimentary way.

We shape culture. Through music and story, we help shift public narrative, create platforms for immigrant leadership, and build belonging across communities.
