Let’s give the returning sun a warm welcome in song, as we raise and weave our voices together in harmony!

Learn songs celebrating the returning light in the new year, songs to lift the spirit, by songwriters in the community singing movement (see list below), and one by the Beatles: “Here Comes The Sun”. The workshop is two hours, with a break for ginger tea; connect with others who love to sing!

All songs are taught in the oral tradition by call and response, without sheet music. Some songs have 3 or 4 harmony parts, and some have a simple structure with room for organic harmonies to arise. Creativity and movement are encouraged; there are no “wrong notes” and our aim is joy and connection, not perfection.

All voices are welcome, whether you are a shy beginner or a confident pro. Experience the magic of community singing, in harmony, imperfectly!

To provide access to folks with diverse background and economic access, admission is on a sliding scale: $15 - 30: please choose what feels both affordable and generous for you. Payment and registration info below.
