Come sing in Burlington's newest community choir: Western Vermont Choral Lab!
Weekly, WVTCL participants will learn and create songs that reflect the diverse languages and cultures of the choir, led by singer/composer Moira Smiley (Tune-Yards, Solas, The Lomax Project) and guest song-leaders. Confirmed guests for the Fall semester include KeruBo (a Vermont-based singer/songwriter born in Kendu Bay, Kenya) and Mikahely (a Burlington-based singer/songwriter/guitarist from Madagascar who draws upon traditional rhythms to create a unique style of soothing roots & groovy jazz fusion). More guests are soon to be announced!
For 10 weeks starting October 6th, WVTCL rehearses on Thursdays from 7:00 - 8:00 PM at the Contois Auditorium in City Hall (149 Church St., Burlington, VT 05401). Adult singers of all experiences are invited to join - no formal musical training needed! Young, motivated singers 14+ are welcome to inquire. Advance registration required!

WVTCL is excited to offer full financial scholarships to cover the cost of registration for New Vermonters and the migrant farmworker community. If you or someone you know would like to sing with the choir but are experiencing financial barriers, please email info@moirasmiley.com
