Love to Sing?
Some years ago, our Friends’ Meeting had a singing group which met about once a month in the meetinghouse. If you miss singing in a group and are looking for a musical home without the pressure of either auditioning or performing, why not join a group that will meet on the last Saturday of each month from 3:00 to 4:00 pm?
You will participate in choosing our repertoire and you do not need to be able to read music. We will have our first meeting on Saturday, January 31st, at 3:00 and discuss the music we would like to sing. Laura Schwartzberg will bring copies of rounds as a start. Farid and Laura were in a short-lived group that met for round-singing a while ago. It’s a fun way to raise our voices and enjoy some harmony.
Come and be part of a supportive, inclusive community! All ages are welcome, and if you play a guitar, do bring it, or invite a friend who would like to sing or strum.
Please contact Laura Schwartzberg.

Please join us if you are led; we gather at 8:30 a.m. and end at 9:00 a.m on Zoom. You are also welcome to join late or leave early, if your schedule requires it. This is a wonderful way to start the day. To join, use this link.
