Lift Every Voice and SING!
|
|
We are overjoyed to welcome Dr. Ysaÿe Barnwell to lead our Community Sing at the New England Regional Assembly on April 22 in Woburn, MA.
Dr. Barnwell is a musician, composer, singer, arranger, teacher, author, actress and former member of the African American female a cappella ensemble Sweet Honey In The Rock.
The Community Sing will be a joyous, spirit-filled opportunity to lift our voices in celebration of being together. Dr. Barnwell will lead us in the "oral tradition" so you don't have to read music or have any musical training. We'll begin in a fun easy way and within two hours become a choir of uncommon voices singing in 4 to 6 part harmony!
