Co-director of The Gettin' Higher Choir, Outside Voices, Community Choir Leadership Training (CCLT)
This is a outdoor singing adventure that runs year round in any kind of weather. We meet from noon to 1:30pm. We alternate walking and pausing to learn and sing layer songs, chants or rounds. No experience necessary. ALL voices are welcome. We will be out there for the full hour and a half, but you can “come when you can, and leave when you must” – we have a hunch you’ll want to stay for the full experience! We often head off to a local café for snacks or lunch and conversation. Newcomers and drop-ins are always welcome!
We meet to walk and to sing every Thursday from noon to 1:30pm in all kinds of weather. We run year round and NOTHING stops us from meeting to sing outdoors. Only in case of national emergency will we cancel Outside Voices!
The Gettin’ Higher Choir seeks to embrace and celebrate humanity’s highest aspirations through music, welcoming people of all ages and backgrounds.
There is no audition, and no vocal experience is required, just a desire to sing in harmony with others.
Our aim is to re-integrate singing into the daily routines of life. We sing for the pure joy and pleasure it gives us, in an atmosphere that is fun, relaxed, and accepting. Our repertoire consists of both traditional and new songs from many cultures. The majority are sung a cappella (unaccompanied voices only) in 4-part harmony.
The choir is directed by Cathy Baker and Dick Jackson. There are 2 sessions available each week:
Tuesday 7-9pm - in-person and on Zoom
Wednesday - drop-in on Zoom - 7-8.30pm
Thursday - on Zoom - 7-8.45pm
