HOW DOES CIRCLESINGING WORK?
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
CircleSinging is "music of the moment," lead by your hosts, David Word and Voices in a New World. Standing in the center of the community circle, the facilitator will start by pulling music out of the air. Once they've got a groove, they'll hand it off to a section of the circle to repeat, then conjure up other musical phrases for other sections, building a spontaneous, layered composition. Together, the facilitator and circle create beautiful, interlocking, rhythmic music that moves and flows between any variety of musical genres and beats, lifting the spirit and filling the room with joy.
