what's up with UNISONG

a NOTE from Jodi

Alas, UNISONG has not resumed since our last get-together led by the ever stupendous Bill Harley.  It was thrilling to watch him be honored this year, by the RI Council on the Humanites- Bravo to Bill!!!

Many of us from UNISONG have been busy on all kinds of link-minded/spirited musical tangents this year; too many to list, I am happy to say, as almost nothing makes me more satisfied than people reaching out to communicate and make the world more beautiful through music- any and all music.

After my incredible experience working with Beth Armstrong and Kim Trusty this summer, organizing the music for the RI Women’s Fund event to commemorate our 90th anniversary of women’s suffrage, the 3 of us couldn’t stop!  We’ve formed a new adventure called “Voices of Hope: Women Singing for Inspiration”.  Please feel free to contact me for details.

Do refer back to this site for further UNISONG updates.  As always, thanks for your interest, support and you VOICE-

my best- Jodi

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.
