CIRCLE OF SONG..... Come join the Community Party!

Tuesdays: 9th, 16th, 23rd & 30th Sept, 7th, 14th & 21st October

7-9pm, MIC, Buckfastleigh (Moor Imagination Centre, Chapel Street)

• Full class pass - Buying upfront half termly @ £11 Able To Support / £9 Standard / £8 Reduced per session (limited number available).
• Half class pass - Buying a bundle of half the term's sessions @ £12 Able To Support / £10 Standard / £9 Reduced per session (you can of course still come to more than half if you find you make more of them).  Once your half class pass is complete, you will go to paying the drop in rate which will be £12 / £10.

I have recently added an CHOIR SUPPORTER ticket!  The description for this one is: 'Thank you so much for your support, this will go towards paying Fran for some of her time in leading the choir during fundraising concerts and free community building events such as WoolFest.'

I am still offering the STANDARD ticket: 'The standard rate is set at level which Fran feels is representative of her time and skill in making this offering. Please support the arts being fully valued by paying this rate.'

And limited numbers of REDUCED RATE tickets: 'This ticket is intended as a support for those experiencing significant financial challenge. There are a limited number of these places, so please consider carefully. Thank you.'

This means a full class pass for next half term's block of 7 sessions will be £77 / £63 / £56 upfront, and the half class pass for 4 out of the 7 sessions will be £48 / £40 / £36. If you buy a half class pass and find you can make more than 4 sessions you are welcome to pay on the door for other sessions you can make at the door price of £12 (concession is available if needed).

I have 5 places reserved for people who are experiencing significant financial challenge and don't have the funds to come to choir otherwise. Please contact me if you need to take one of those.

Circle of Song is a partnership project between Moor Imagination Collective and experienced local choir leader Fran André (Soul of the City Gospel Choir, Jubilation Choir, Dartington Monday Fun Choir).

Expect riotously fun joyful singing in harmony, accompanied by pockets of heartful soothing singing to take us into the darker months with a good dose of community heart medicine. Fran has a particular love of music of the African diaspora, including West and South African songs and also gospel. She will also bring a variety of folk styles from different traditions around the world, including homegrown talented folk song creators from these isles.

Singing together is our birthright! We at the MIC feel passionately about the power of group singing as a way for us to feel the palpable nourishment of community connection. Creating harmony together with our voices, gives us a felt sense way in to creating harmony in our lives and worlds.

All are welcome - you do not need any previous singing experience. As the Zimbabwean proverb goes 'if you can walk, you can dance, if you can talk, you can sing'! All songs will be taught by ear in a gentle, inclusive, encouraging atmosphere.

We look forward to singing with you and please spread the word!

Fran, Sophie and James x
