About Circlesinging:

Circlesinging is an improvised community experience much like a "drum circle" for singers with a facilitator guiding the musical journey. Prior to singing, everyone will have an opportunity to reflect on an intention. Then Shireen will sing your section a part that you will sing back and repeat as she goes around the circle and spontaneously constructs harmonizing and interlocking melodies, generating group motion, emotion, synergy, and spirit! We don't concern ourselves with perfection, we sing for the joy of it. All levels are welcome.
