CIRCLESONG AT SONARK

have gathered to spontaneously sing and move together since ancient times, even before the use of language. We all have the potential to sing and participate in creative musical experiences alongside others, supporting each other, and tapping into each person’s natural musicianship.  

is an ancestral form of music-making that is also a way to learn about ourselves as singers and as human beings, and to experience our connection with others. This event is open to everyone, and will be a source of fun and musical creativity for all involved. Guillermo will lead us in circle-singing, group and individual vocal exploration, movement, and rhythm. Between the two sets of group activities, there will be an intermission where we’ll be able to socialize with others, have a drink or a snack, and grow in community. 

The first part of the evening will be an inclusive session, open to all levels of singers, where Guillermo will facilitate a series of vocal games and spontaneous songs. This creates an exciting group experience, where all voices matter, and where everyone is encouraged to create music. The second part of the evening features solo performances by the group leader, sonic activities, group vocal games, and chants from different world cultures. We’ll also explore call-and-response singing, gentle movements, rhythmic patterns, and vocal and body percussion. 

Throughout the evening, Guillermo will customize the musical explorations according to the level of all participants. If a larger amount of confident singers are in attendance, we may include more circle-singing and choral activities.
