I’m thrilled to present beloved songwriter and songleader Sarina Partridge, who will lead us in a nature-inspired community singing workshop, on Saturday, July 19, at the beautiful Bowen Park Amphitheatre. Having participated in Sarina’s workshops and hosted her Heartwood Trio, I can attest to her engaging, accessible, teaching style, and the joyful and truly connective community singing experience she creates. Check out Sarina’s music on YouTube or BandCamp.

Suggested donation: $20 - $30, by e-transfer to sylvia@sylviahumble.ca, or cash when you arrive.

To access the Bowen Park Amphitheatre, you can park in the main parking area off Bowen Road, near the pool and activity centre. Alternatively, there is also parking available off Wall Street, on the eastern edge of the park (the gravel trail is flat/ accessible)

Please bring water to stay hydrated.

Sarina Partridge is a musician, song-leader and educator in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She feels most alive when learning, creating and sharing songs, and enjoys singing with a wide variety of music projects - Eastern European and Yiddish song, old-time music, community song-leading... and everything in between. Sarina has traveled around the world to study with master folk singers, and has toured with the traveling ensemble Northern Harmony abroad and in the USA. She has a passion for connecting people with their own creativity and with community, and uses singing to help folks develop a sense of wonder for this wild world around us. Let’s sing!

“Singing is our birthright - we sing for joy, for connection, for expression. Singing is the language of grief and praise, wonder and wisdom; we sing the world we want to inhabit, and we sing to understand the world we live in now. We sing the songs of our ancestors, and we catch new songs from the air around us.”
