UBUNTU: WHERE NO ONE IS APART is the theme of our singing season! Come connect and share strength in the deep pool of song. All voices welcome, no one turned away for lack of funds.

12 Tuesday evenings starting Oct 16, 7-8:30 at the UU Church of Davis. Performances MLK Day weekend Jan 20 at 2pm & Jan 21 at 7pm. (Dress rehearsal Jan 19 at 10am.) STEAC will receive donations taken at the door.

Six to ten creative collaborators will gather in a safe circle to challenge and expand creative edges while deepening the message of the MLK Day program theme: Where No One Is Apart. Anyone willing to work in this collaborative way is welcome to contact me about participating. Singing will definitely be involved, plus whatever else folks bring: poetry, spoken word, theater, dance, art, ritual. . . 

Rehearsals Thursdays 10am-12noon at the UU Church of Davis beginning Nov 1 and continuing until the January events.

On April 13, 14, & 15 group of local tree lovers gathered for a unique interactive performance/art installation in the Aspen greenbelt. All ages were in attendance at this event full of songs, stories, and gentle ritual to honor and learn from our community trees. The eight women performers carried on in all kinds of weather. The event was supported in part by the City of Davis Arts & Cultural Affairs Program.

The Free Range Singers teamed up with Doreen Conte's Salon Singers and special guests Mariachi Puente to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. Audiences and performers sang their hearts out honoring ancestors and celebrating diversity! On Jan. 14 and 15, $2,190 were raised to support Mariachi Puente, a youth performing group bringing dynamic Mariachi music to our local community. The UU Church of Davis was a supporting sponsor.
