Free Range Singers are preparing for the Singing Bee!
The community chorus-experience called the Free Range Singers is meeting weekly from April 24 to June 8, 2012. I am directing, with able assistance from Katie Henry. We have two rehearsal times for members to choose from:
--on Tuesday nights at 7-8:30pm at the UU Church of Davis.
--on Friday afternoons at 1-2:30pm at the UU Church of Davis.
This session of the Free Range Singers includes:
--A series of seven rehearsals plus a Singing Bee on Friday, June 8 at 7:00pm at the UU Church of Davis. This is a participatory performance which will include the Free Range Singers and Tres Rios, a trio of women singing Mexican folk songs, singing for each other, singing together, and singing with the friends and family who are gathered to enjoy the evening.
--A packet of song lyrics and sheet music for each participant.
--Singing to express your full range and free your true voice.
--All voices welcome-- no audition.
--Variety of repertoire-- music from many traditions, styles from playful to serious, simple to complex. Also featuring original songs and arrangements by Laura Sandage and Katie Henry. Much of our material will be learned by ear.
--Activities to build your musical skills and exercise your brain, body, and spirit.
--Suggested donation $60-$120 for the entire session. Scholarships available.
