You are cordially invited to make music with friends and friends you haven’t met yet for a community music-making experience. We will be celebrating Make Music Day along with 2000 cities worldwide through Circle Singing. This is a process guided by the director of the GR Youth Chorus, Leah Ivory. Younger singers (tweens and teens) who are interested in participating are most welcome!
WHAT TO EXPECT:
There is no expectation that you will have anything memorized, but we want you to have all the tools to engage as fully as you want to with the songs and so that we can spend our time together in creativity and community.
Whether you're coming to see the power of music in connection, you have something inside of you that you want to express, or you want to support others in connection and expression, as long as you can sustain the attention, you are welcome.
In the spirit of Make Music Day, Our meeting place for the event is Fishladder Park. It is accessible for all abilities.
THE DAY OF THE EVENT:
After a time of introduction, we'll discover ways to share musical space through vocal play and circle singing led by the fabulous group facilitators of GR Sings!.
You are welcome whether you are an experienced singer who performs with choirs or someone who loves singing along to your favorite song in the shower.
MEDIA CONSENT:
We'll be taking photos and videos during our time together to share and invite others to join us for future GR Sings! events. By registering, you give your consent to be photographed and video recorded.
This musical moment is made possible by Cheswatyr and Downtown Grand Rapids Inc.
