- **Event Description**: Join us in a fully improvised vocal music journey around the world!About this EventOur Global Colors CircleSing is a celebration and amalgamation of musical styles from around the world. Together, we will co-create spontaneous songs that draw from a wide variety of influences. Combining musical flavors from India, the Middle East, and the Balkan regions, this musical adventure will explore vocal timbres, embrace odd meters and grooves, and dig into the rich and varied musical possibilities that live within all of us. Join us for an evening of celebratory song ~ maybe you bring your own vocal traditions and heritages into the mix, or maybe you just come along for the ride!WHAT IS CIRCLESINGING?A spontaneous vocal jam, sung by all of us and led by a facilitator in the middle of the circle who invents parts, teaches improvised harmonies, and shapes the music as we flow from meditative moments to vibrant dance parties to heartfelt anthems and everything in between!Circle Singing is:playfulcreativecollaborativejoyfulimperfectimprovisedfinding the flowa full body explorationwelcoming to all ability levelsCircle Singing is done all over the world in many different forms, and, while popularized by musical legends such as Bobby McFerrin and Rhiannon of WeBe3, it dates back to the earliest forms of human singing.WHO IS LEADING THIS CIRCLESINGING SESSION?This session will be led by the incredible Zahara (Annette Philip).Zahara (she/her) is a Grammy and Emmy nominated musician, educator, and arts entrepreneur. A versatile vocalist with roots in Kerala, India, she is known as a visionary who delivers on big dreams. Zahara is a seasoned recording and touring artist, composer, pianist, voice-over actor, public speaker, TV personality, and bonafide sari connoisseur. She is Founder/Director of the Grammy-nominated Berklee Indian Ensemble, a viral phenomenon with over 300 million views, renowned for its signature global Indian sound and world class productions. Before her Boston years, in 2003, she founded Artistes Unlimited (AU) in New Delhi, India, a performing arts collective promoting collaboration among city musicians. Today, Zahara takes this mission global through her internationally acclaimed a cappella quartet, Women of the World (singing in 37 languages); her songwriting duo, Tigs and Nettles; and "keeping it light" her podcast on self-love, acceptance, and healing.Zahara believes we build resilience through playfulness. Her workshops on improvised storytelling through sound, movement, and global vocal nuances help singers trust, love and better understand themselves and their voice.WHAT HAPPENS DURING A CIRCLESINGING SESSION?We begin with some easy singing games and a check-in to get to know everyone a little better. From there, the evening will follow a series of guided singing games and exercises as the group explores rhythm, movement, melody, and harmony. We practice the art of saying YES to what is happening in the moment - expressing ourselves, listening to our voices and bodies, and making stuff up.DO I HAVE TO BE AN EXPERIENCED SINGER?Nope! This playful, intuitive approach to singing meets you wherever you're at in your vocal journey, and allows professional artists, former choir kids, and shower singers alike to bond, collaborate, and create beautiful vocal music as a spontaneous vocal community.WHAT GENRE OF MUSIC DO WE SING?That's the magic of improvisation - the music we make is entirely dependent on the ensemble of folx gathered together on that particular day, and whatever musical stylings and instincts pour out of us! We will follow whatever journey the music takes us on.THIS SOUNDS COOL, BUT I FEEL A BIT ANXIOUS...We hear you. Singing in front of people can be really vulnerable, and we make sure to honor where everyone is at. While we will encourage you to be brave and try new things, you are also always encouraged to listen to your body and draw your own boundaries, and are invited to pass or sit out and watch if a particular game or exercise isn't for you. You will never be forced to do anything you don't want to do!Circle Singing is a mistake-free, low-pressure, safe space to play and explore. The space we craft is one where we allow ourselves let go of the rules, restrictions, judgments, and fears of other group singing settings and just SING.RESPECT THE SPACE:This is a beloved venue and we want to honor them! Please be considerate of the space.PHYSICAL ACCESSIBILITY:2 step walk up to lobby.Elevator available to the 3rd floor (reserved for those with physical disabilities).Seating available (narrow benches with no backs).Bathroom is not wheelchair accessible.Venue prefers shoes to be removed upon entering.? ? ?LOW-PRESSURE PARTICIPATIONGaia Music Collective events are participatory, but low-pressure. You'll be invited to sing along and make music with us, but we encourage you to draw your own boundaries and engage at your own pace - we pride ourselves in creating a judgment-free community where you can express yourself however feels right!LATE ARRIVALSWe ask that you arrive no later than 30 minutes after start time, after which we close the doors (lovingly) in order to preserve the intimacy and trust of the musical container we’re building.

The values listed here shape how we work together, how we engage with the world, and how we move toward upholding these principles.OUR MISSIONGaia Music Collective is an NYC-based creative community seeking to foster a more connected world through collective music-making. Founded in June of 2021 in a living room in Brooklyn, this project was born out of a desire to create accessible, inclusive, playful spaces for people to explore connection, expression, healing, and release through collaborative song - spaces where folks feel empowered to make music free of judgment or expectation, and to make new friends as our full, beautiful, authentic selves.We believe that communal music-making is a fundamental human practice, and this project seeks to build spaces for folks to nurture their relationship to music, whether they're shower singers, professional musicians, or anything in between.All are welcome in this community. Gaia seeks to foster spaces of belonging for humans of all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, classes, religions, abilities, national origins, languages, and musical experiences. All we ask is that you bring an open mind, a desire to connect, and a willingness to leave judgment of self and others at the door.FAQHave any questions that haven't been answered here?
