Women Sing! Second Sundays in Kenwood 

A circle singing event for women only. This is spontaneous music and circle songs led by singer songwriter improviser Linda Stonestreet.  

Circlesinging is community singing tradition - a guided participatory musical ritual to create music in the moment solely for enjoyment. 

Circlesinging is an ancient community ritual where people of good will gather together in the shape of a circle with a guide who leads improvised patterns and creates music in the moment. This form of making spontaneous music was made in our times by the extraordinary Bobby McFerrin. Singing is meant to fill up the space and bodies of all who share the experience. Through the use of movement, sound and sometimes words, we collectively create rhythmic patterns and melodic structures to add to the flow and depth of the experience. The purpose of this gathering is to elevate the spirit. Singers of all levels welcome. Please arrive healthy. 30 people max. 

Linda Stonestreet is the founder of the Sing! Project, a regional initiative, seeding and networking circlesinging groups and vocal improvisation workshops for the purpose of growing and strengthening community, with a broader vision of expanding a network for the global vocal improvisation communities. Born in the San Francisco Bay Area, she is mentored by Rhiannon in her Vocal River traditions and conducts vocal improvisational groups based on Rhiannon’s Vocal River Body of Improvisational practices.
