Music that Makes Community is excited to offer a One-Day Community Singing Workshop focusing on songs of love, freedom, and resilience at the Unitarian Church of Marlborough and Hudson in Central Massachusetts.

MMC Executive Director Conie Borchardt and experienced MMC facilitators Nancy Willbanks will offer a lively day of singing, learning, and community building. No special talents required - just a love of music and fellowship. Singers of all backgrounds, ages, and experience levels are warmly welcomed to participate!

Join us for a renewing day of building community through singing, learning, and fellowship. During our time together we’ll: 

- Explore a practice of paperless (oral tradition) singing leadership grounded in a spirit of welcome and generosity;
- Engage models of teaching and leading that welcome our bodies, hearts, and minds;
- Experience music reflective of the growing diversity of our communities and celebrating our rich spiritual and liturgical traditions;
- Build community and strengthen relationships through singing.

Each person will leave with new music to share, as well as experiences of learning and teaching songs applicable to their context. Choir directors, clergy, cantors, lay leaders, and all who love to sing are warmly welcomed.
