Open Call for Singers of all ages and skill levels!
Popularized by Grammy-winning artist Bobby McFerrin, Circle Singing is a spontaneous a cappella vocal practice in which leaders take turns to improvise melodic and rhythmic parts and teach them to groups of singers to build layered, harmonized, often wordless songs on the spot.
This is an improvised vocal experience where everyone is welcome, including walk-ups, but if you plan to participate please take a moment to register at I Want To Circle Sing!
