what's up with UNISONG

we have a real, new HOME. UNISONG is thrilled to announce a new partnership with RPM Voices, directed by Dr. Clarice L. Thompson (most of you know her from several UNISONGs) and The Music School at the RI Philharmonic.

Our events will now take place in the unbelievably beautiful new digs of the School, at 667 Waterman Ave., E. Providence. It is completely accessible, with plenty of safe parking and it is on a bus line. We couldn’t be happier being a member of RI’s musical landscape.

Dr. Thompson will open each UNISONG and introduce that evenings music director.

About Unisong

UNISONG is a non-performance community singing session meeting monthly. UNISONG is led by a different guest musical director each time to explore music from diverse sources. *** Conceived by Jodi Glass, a life-long music lover and community organizer, UNISONG has come to fruition with the help of Kathy Jellison, Priscilla Young, Rachael Warren, Rose Weaver and Cathy Clasper-Torch. Music is a deeply powerful source for expression and can lead to positive change,” said Jodi. “With that in mind, we seek to bring together people from different cultures, generations, genders and musical experience or interest in order to learn from each other and have a good time making music.”

Participants don’t have to do the following in order to sing along: read music, attend every time, prep for any performance, prep at all, or have previous experience singing with a group.  We’re on a bus route and parking is free.  This is a NO STRESS ZONE.

Our previous UNISONG events have been led by:

Cathy Clasper-Torch, Ann Pitts, Angelic Voices, Caryl Frink, Ray Warner, Angela Williams, Kathy Jellison, Rose Weaver, Deborah Spears-Moorehead, Priscilla Young, Shelley Katsh, Ellen Santaniello, Metaxia (Menia) Pavlakou, Rachael Warren, a.michelle, Inside Track, the Providence Raging Grannies, Ricardo Pitts-Wiley, Jack Pina, Maya Breuer & Bill Jacovelli.
