BIG SING with Humble Harmony

  • Oliver Woods Rec Centre 6000 Oliver Road Nanaimo, BC, V9T 6G6 Canada (map)

Raise and weave your voice in community and sing songs of hope with us!
* Suggested Donation $10-20 * Singing starts at 5:15pm; optional potluck at 6:45pm *All voices welcome regardless of singing experience.

Instead of a concert, each season of my Humble Harmony community singing group ends with a BIG SING, where folks from my three groups in Nanaimo and Parksville gather to share the songs we’ve been learning, and invite the community in to sing along with us! These uplifting songs are easy to learn by ear, with exciting layers of harmony and rhythm. While this is a participatory event, listeners are welcome too (but don’t be surprised if you find yourself singing)!

Join us for heart-opening songs of Love and Freedom (our themes this season), from the community singing movement, One Love by Bob Marley, and Shosholoza from South Africa. April Laurie will lead some vocal play, and accompany us on percussion.

All are welcome to bring something to share, if you’d like to stay for the potluck and socialize - bring plates and cutlery if you can, to reduce waste. We will be on the main floor of Oliver Woods and we may venture outside!

No need to RSVP - there is plenty of space, and the more voices, the richer the experience!

(If you want to stay in the loop, please leave your email at www.sylviahumble.ca/newsletter)

Humble Harmony is a non-auditioned, non-performing group learning uplifting songs in harmony by ear without sheet music. We are part of the Ubuntu Choirs Network, based on the core belief that singing together is a universal human birthright and can make the world a better place. Our next six-week season starts on May 18. Learn more at www.sylviahumble.ca/humble-harmony
