inCourage Chorus 13-Week Spring Season!

with Britta Gudmunson + Ben Gould Begins February 11 / Monday evenings / 7-8:30 pm 13-week Spring Session: February thru May $200 for the season pass $15 drop-in (for first-timers only) Raise your voice, your vibration and your spirit in community song! The inCourage Chorus is a non-audition, nondenominational, all-ages community choir. We welcome singers, recovering non-singers, breathers and talkers of all experience levels to commune in songs from around the world spanning culture, tradition, and language. Song is among the most ancient forms of human expression, allowing us to open our hearts and minds not only to joy but to the expanse of the human experience. Come celebrate the wholeness and harmony of life through the medicine of music! All songs are taught and shared in the oral tradition. We do not use written music but teach in a call and response style. We also make audio recordings available to our choir members during the season with each sections part separately recorded so that members can practice on their own. No experience necessary and all are welcome! DATES: Our 13-week autumn session will meet the following dates: February 11, 18, 25 March 4, 11, 18, 25 April 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 May 6 Members will also be invited to join a daylong retreat on Saturday, April 13 in a forested canyon above downtown Santa Barbara. We will conclude the season with a final benefit concert on Friday, May 10 + Sunday May 12! (participation in the concert is optional.) PRICING: There is a one-time, flat fee for joining us for the season. Because we will be working on more complex songs over the course of 13 weeks, we dont allow multiple drop-ins and encourage folks who want to return for multiple sessions to join us by buying a season pass. Need to miss a meeting? No worries! This is not about perfect attendance. We encourage our members to attend as often as possible and utilize the sectional recordings on their own time to familiarize themselves with the repertoire should they need to miss a meeting or two. We allow a one-time drop-in visit for $15. One drop-in permitted per person, per season. Need a payment plan or adjusted rate? Please email incouragechorus@gmail.com or talk to Ben or Britta. No one turned away for lack of funds! Dont miss this opportunity to sing your heart open!
