Hello,
Singers of the world, find your harmony fix here! The choice is staggering.
We are a singers' own network of community singing opportunities, with thousands of readers worldwide. You submit the events you want to share with others, and find out what other singers are doing in their communities.
Highlights in this update include local workshops just about everywhere and some special events in venues as far flung as Findhorn to Fiji, Capetown to the Cotswolds, and Nanaimo to Newfoundland.
How about Songs of Tagore and Indian Raga in Brighton? Or Singing Cyclists across the north of England? A yodelling workshop? Gregorian chant or Georgian polyphany? Maybe you feel a desperate need to go sing in Bali. I think I do.
Check under Local Events to see the vast selection of singing opportunities available in your area. Whether you are a beginner or a very experienced singer, there is a singing event that is perfect for you. World music, folk, classical, jazz, gospel, Appalachian, shapenote, South African, Balkan, Georgian, Maori, whatever you want to sing is being taught somewhere listed on this website and comes with a group of singers ready to do all the harmony parts. Don’t be shy, let your inner singer out!
Check out the huge selection of Singing Holidays, some of which are already full or filling fast for 2013. Wow!
Also have a look at the great number of Weekend Workshops, in hundreds of locations. Both the weekend and holiday events are great for singers who want a more intensive singing experience. Highly recommended way to see the world! Community choirs have their own section listings also.
Thanks very much to a few loyal readers who made donations recently. You paid for a student to do a lot of the updates. I can no longer keep up with the hundreds of new listings monthly and I would love to pay a student to help, so please donate if you would like to support this free, non-commercial website and keep it going into its 6th year. Paypal works well for this. Here is the link.
Thanks and let loose with your lovely voice,
Cindy Dymond
