Singing is everyone's birthright, as is the sense of community that singing together in harmony creates. This 8-week singing group will draw on traditional and contemporary a cappella songs of hope, joy, and resilience. We will sing songs in harmony as well as rounds, and all will be taught by ear from word sheets, so ability to read music is not required. Most songs will be in English, but we may do a few from other parts of the world, too. All adult and teen voices are welcome, and children are welcome with an accompanying adult.
