The Albuquerque MMC Song Circle hosts a special Community SING Fundraiser to benefit Music that Makes Community on Wednesday evening, August 21 at the Norbertine Abbey.  Albuquerque locals Sylvia Miller-Mutia, David Poole, and others will join Executive Director Conie Borchardt in singing MMC favorites and new songs and sharing meaningful stories of paperless song building community in the beautiful Abbey Church. 

Join Sylvia Miller-Mutia, David Poole, and other lovers of singing from in and around Albuquerque, NM, for a monthly Music that Makes Community Song Circle. We sing together the first Tuesday of each month for 75 minutes, beginning at 6:30pm, with the option to gather for fellowship beforehand. We rotate locations and responsibility for "hosting" among interested participants. 

We focus on teaching, learning, and sharing songs together in an "oral tradition" style of music-making.  We sing songs from a variety of traditions as well as songs of our own creation. We lean heavily on musical forms that lend themselves to learning by ear and singing from the heart, including: simple melodies, rounds, simple songs with layered harmonies, echo songs, and "call and response" songs.

We take risks. We experiment. We make mistakes. We laugh. We learn. We encourage one another. We sing. We welcome you to join us!
