Come gather in community to sing and celebrate the equinox!

Join a community choir this fall! No auditions, no need to read sheet music, ALL VOICES WELCOME (and dare I say, needed!)

Harmony Circle, Fall Session - Mondays September 16 - October 28, 6-8pm at New City Center/ Walker Church on 16th Ave and 31st St.

We will play with: learning to hold down a part, hearing harmonies, and we will learn lots of great songs of this seasonal moment together. Songs will be simple harmony songs in two or three parts, mostly songs I've written, taught by ear with some visual aids (but not sheet music).

Wild Voice Chorus, Fall Session - Tuesdays September 17 - October 29, 6-8pm at New City Center/ Walker Church on 16th Ave and 31st St.

This is a chorus geared towards folks who can hold down their own harmony part pretty comfortably. We'll sing music from many harmony traditions which I've traveled and studied - Bulgarian, Georgian, Yiddish, South African, Corsican, Shapenote, original Sarina songs...

It will be way more awesome, fun and rewarding if you can come to all sessions of whichever you sign up for! Sliding scale fee of $70-$150 for each choir, with openness to bartering.

POSTPONED — The "Big Sing" in Powderhorn Park has been postponed due to the heat index being so high today, and possible storms. New date: Thursday, July 18 -- same time and place: 4-5:30pm, on the hillside on the NW side of the pond. Hope you all can still make it!!

Did you know, there used to be a tradition in Minneapolis parks of coming together for the simple joy of singing? We'd like to revive that. Join me and local song leaders Jayanthi Kyle, Linnea Champ, and Annie Schlaefer at Powderhorn for an afternoon of intergenerational community singing! Leaders will teach original, harmony-rich songs that invite people to connect. All voices are welcome and needed - no need to read music or think of yourself as "a singer". We will sing for joy and connection, not performance or perfection.

Bring a picnic to stay after and socialize if you like!

10:30am-12:30pm ~ Sing-along during Puppet Library Story Time

7-9pm “The Well Tree” Performance ~ GET TICKETS HERE

Join folk trio Heartwood for an all-ages, immersive, participatory journey through song and story - the show’s debut! The Well Tree is a three-person musical, illustrated by a ‘crankie’ - an illuminated, papercut, hand-cranked scroll. It is an original 'singing story' about wild journeying and remembering kinship -- the tale of a young woman moving beyond the fog of isolation to meet songbirds, snails and ancient trees as she travels through these unraveling times, finding her way home. The three members of Heartwood – Heidi Wilson, Willy Clemetson, and Sarina Partridge – will be the actors, musicians and the crew that runs the crankie (created by papercut artist Jen Jones) – and the audience will be invited in to help sing pieces of the story.

Singing with Heartwood Trio at Annie and Linnea’s regular Wednesday evening song circle - at the WEST shelter (by the playground) at Wolfe Park in St. Louis Park. Please bring a blanket or chair for sitting. No need to register, just show up!

Suggested donation $10-20 -- No one turned away for lack of funds
