Next Meeting:
Monday, November 30th
7:00PM-9:00PM
We’re excited to bring the joy and connection of community singing to Melrose and begin building a new local singing community together.
A Community Sing is a space where we gather, often in a circle, and experience what happens when we make music together. There’s no need to read music, or even an expectation that you consider yourself a “singer.”
RSVP or walk in! Sliding Scale $10-30. You can pay through eventbrite, cash at the door, or venmo @millygraceroberts. No one turned away for lack of funds.
If you have questions, please reach out to milly@bostonareasingingcircles.com
