well, believe it- it happened and it was truly remarkable- we all experienced 3-part harmony, jazz and improv, gospel, medieval chanting, therapeutic voicework, Jewish folk music, ballad, Native American chanting- "thank you" to those listed above is not enough- for your ongoing sharing of self, song and spirit- we are gifted with you fine folks-

another "thank you" to all of our participants on that special night- i was honored to witness the energy and sincerity in a diverse group of close to 100 people. you were UNISONG- you were community coming together through song, through voice- shared voice-

and it was beautiful- we'll do it again soon-

THANK YOU!!

"session leaders are artists of the highest quality -- everyone in the community can actively participate in UNISONG".

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.

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.
