Bring a song for an
experiment in communal vocal song-making! Participants can
choose
a song, in any genre, that speaks to them, represents them, or moves
them. We will then perform a choral piece that uses each of
our
individual songs in concert -- making a collaborative composition and a
sonic group portrait! |
