Circle of Voices is an evening workshop of collective singing, creative writing, and communal dialogue to explore and connect our individual thought, breath, and tone to the peoples and environments around us.
Led by Guild Hall’s Patti Kenner Fellow, Anthony Madonna, the evening will center around tenets of Deep Listening, collective singing, and other participatory arts practices.
Open to singers of all backgrounds and experience levels. All that is required is the desire to connect in a welcoming circle of voices.
