Winter Solstice Community Song Circle - NANAIMO

  • Rotary Field House 850 Third Street Nanaimo, BC, V9R 3K5 Canada (map)

All who love to sing are invited to a community song circle / informal harmony singing workshop, to celebrate the turning of the season from dark to light, in song. A two-hour gathering with candles and a break for ginger-lemon tea! With April Laurie on percussion.

All songs are joyfully taught by call-and-response in the oral tradition; spirit-lifting songs of hope (non-religious) from the community singing movement, with harmony-rich layers that are are easy to learn by ear.
