Heartwood is a trio of singers and instrumentalists (Sarina Partridge from Minnesota, Heidi Wilson from Vermont, and Willy Klemetson from Maine) creating new music born from time in wild places. With rich vocal harmonies and inviting lyrics, they create music in collaboration with the natural world and weave songs that invite people to join in the singing.

Vocal Workshop: Immerse yourself in an experience of embodied, joyful, and connected singing with the skilled songleaders and facilitators of Heartwood. Sarina, Willy and Heidi will bring original, harmony-rich, accessible songs, speaking to the wild without and within. All songs will be taught in the oral tradition, no need to read sheet music to participate. All voices are welcome and needed!

The Well Tree: Join Heartwood for an all-ages, immersive, participatory journey through song and story. The Well Tree is a three-person musical, accompanied by a ‘crankie’ - an illuminated, papercut, hand-cranked scroll. It is an original 'singing story' about wild journeying and remembering kinship -- the tale of a young woman moving beyond the fog of isolation to meet songbirds, snails and ancient trees as she travels through these unraveling times, finding her way home. The three members of Heartwood – Heidi Wilson, Willy Clemetson, and Sarina Partridge – are the actors, musicians and the crew that runs the crankie (created by papercut artist Jennifer Jones) – and the audience will be invited in to help sing pieces of the story.

The evening musical will be in the sanctuary, the prize venue of Nanaimo's singing culture, with its marvelous acoustics.

The afternoon workshop will be in the church hall (entrance on Wesley St.)

Heartwood Trio will also be in Comox on May 25, Duncan on May 29, and Victoria on May 31. Learn more at www.heartwoodtrio.com
