You can use this calendar page to set up a new singing event near you, or get in touch with MMC to help you figure out the best way to organize other people in the community to form a local practice group.

  • Monthly Albuquerque Song Circle

  • Tuesday, May 05, 2026 at 06:30 PM
    St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Albuquerque, NM


    Come practice sharing, teaching, learning, and singing "paperless" songs in the context of a supportive community of fellow singers and song-lovers!  Whether you'd like to experience how we can share songs in the oral/aural tradition, build your confidence as a song-leader, or just enjoy the "good medicine" of singing with others in community, we'd love for you to join us. All ages and abilities welcome!  
     
    It is our practice to ROTATE LOCATIONS AND ROTATE HOSTS for our monthly MMC Song Circles.  Our "default" meeting time is the first Tuesday of the month from 6:30-8pm, but that day and time is not "set in stone."  

    Contact organizer Sylvia Miller-Mutia for more information!
