DETAILS:
HOW: We meet in the San Francisco Bay Area, in several smaller, separate cohorts who come together for a single shared performance at the close of our season together, along with members of Mothersong Chorus, my community choir for women and nonbinary folks.
This listing is to try a single drop in class of Forest Voices, to see whether it's a match for your child. (If you're looking for the full season, go here.)
WHO: Open to kids ages 7 - 11. (Parents of older kids, take note that most who join us are on the young side of that range.)
WHEN: September 8th or 22nd, 10:30 - 11:30 AM
You'll be able to choose your date from the drop down when you purchase this listing.
After that, if you decide to commit, the full season meets on Sunday mornings and runs through January 18th, 2024. To view our complete schedule, including dress rehearsals, concerts, and scheduled holidays, just click here.
WHERE: We meet a private residence in Oakland's Temescal neighborhood. (You'll get the address when you register, but Google nearby Blue Bottle Coffee at 4270 Broadway for approximate driving distance.)
COVID safety: We meet indoors in a beautiful, homey, well ventilated space with air purifiers running. Masks are optional.
