Information about the 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 the Zimbabwe Trees of Hope fundraiser, Woolfest, and the Christmas singing for the Memory Café etc.'

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.'

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.

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!
