Open Hub Singing Club: Fall Series
All voices welcomed-including YOURS!
10 Sundays, Sept 21-Nov. 23 / 3:30-5:00 pm
In Decorah, with songleader Liz Rog
You can listen here or here for a taste of the kinds of songs we sing.
-------
For all voices: experienced, brand-new to singing, and everyone in-between.
No audition, no practice, no performance–just making friends through singing together! Children are welcome too!
Come join us in singing uplifting songs . No singing experience or training is needed; We learn by listening as a group. You’ve already got what it takes!
As Bobby McFerrin says, “One of the simplest and most direct ways of praying and meditating is through singing, and singing in community is especially powerful. You get people together in a room singing, and you instantly knock down all the walls—the creeds, the gender, age, and race differences, everything. You’re all one at that point, lifting your voices.”
In singing together we give voice to our shared humanity. Our common joys, longings, sorrows, and hopes fly from our mouths and mingle in the air. Come, help us sing in harmony to build community.
In each session we will:
Learn joyful, diverse, easy-to-memorize songs
Connect with our singing community through a shared joy of song
Build confidence in our voices in a welcoming, supportive space
Release the stress of living and open space for the week to come
Exercise our bodies and minds through the practice of group singing
Build memory retention through oral tradition singing
Enjoy a fun, relaxed, and accepting environment
Cost: $50-$150, pay what is generous and affordable for you. No one turned away for lack of funds.
New to community singing? Drop in the first week and give it a try, no charge.
