What is CircleSinging?
A joyous, spontaneous chorus guided in improvised songs. The mostly-wordless, flexible sound format has allowed CircleSinging to become a worldwide art form, practiced in little pockets throughout countries and cultures. The music is accessible, uniting and intuitive, so no prior experience is necessary to participate or to enjoy, as it unfolds very simply.
