Easy-to-join group harmony singing that fosters connection and joy, focused on the simple pleasure of raising voices in community

Welles Park, West Sunnyside Avenue, Chicago, IL, USA

<h3>🎶 Summer Gazebo Singing Pop-Up 🎶</h3> Woohoo it's gazebo season!! Come sing outside in the beautiful Welles Park Gazebo this July!! This pop-up is a part of Kinship Community Choir's Summer Season. We sing for connection through fun and beautiful singing in the oral tradition. No prior singing experience necessary and all voices welcome! “Singing is the language of grief and praise, wonder and wisdom; we sing the world we want to inhabit, and we sing to understand the world we live in now.” -Sarina Partridge WHEN AND WHERE?Wednesday August 19th7:00-8:15pm@ Welles Park Gazebo2333 W. Sunnyside Ave. REGISTRATIONThese sings are offered by donation at a sliding scale $15-30. You can donate via eventbrite, Zelle (megan@rootedinthestars.com), or cash when you show up! WHAT IS THIS?Kinship Community Choir is rooted in the contemporary community singing movement. We will learn the songs orally, no sheet music, standing or sitting in a circle rather than in formation. Our focus is the felt experience of group singing rather than perfection and technique. We will be together for an hour and fifteen minutes which will include a simple opening song, a moment to connect with a neighbor, and then the rest of the time we sing. WHAT SONGS WILL WE SING?Most if not all of the songs we will sing are sourced from the contemporary community singing movement. We will sing songs that honor the natural world as well as the human experience. We will sing songs that layer melodies and harmonies and divide into different parts. We’ll also sing simple unison songs, rounds, and more. WHO IS THIS FOR?Anyone who wants to sing! From new singers to shower and car singers to former choir singers looking for a relaxed environment to sing again.“There is no good or bad singing, only free or less free.” -Orion Johnstone.Not sure if this is for you? Contact me with any questions: megan@rootedinthestars.com ABOUT MEGAN:Megan Eberhardt is a community songleader and cultural activist dedicated to fostering aliveness, belonging, and connection within and among us and with the natural world. Some days this looks like leading a song circle, some days it’s facilitating community grief ritual, some days it’s teaching stargazing under dark skies around the midwest. And most days include singing up the sun, a good amount of heartache and joy, and homemade soup! Did Megan spend her whole life in choirs and music rooms?! No she did not! Megan discovered group singing 10 years ago and the community singing movement in 2019. It's been a journey of heart, passion, and courage to get here. Megan's been leading community singing for 4 years, 3 years at the Old Town School of Folk Music. She's been teaching the stars to people for nearly a decade and more recently has begun facilitating community grief ritual.Sign-up for Megan's <a href="https://tr.ee/2JaXxX7Kxe" title="https://tr.ee/2JaXxX7Kxe" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">email list here</a> and check out her website <a href="https://www.rootedinthestars.com" title="https://www.rootedinthestars.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
