Join us in the Wildcat Room to raise your voice (and maybe a pint) with the Bristol Beer Choir!
What is One Day Choir? A celebration of song and the connective power of singing in harmony. An opportunity to build community, make some new friends, and combine our voices as one. A chance to feel the joy of creating something bigger than ourselves with music.
No auditions. No judgment. No need for perfection. Just the joy of singing in harmony with a room full of beautiful humans!
What you can expect at One Day Choir:
-Connect with vocal warmups in a group -Be guided through the piece section by section -Break down the lyrics and emotions at play in the song -Shape some key musical moments -Sing with members of the Bristol Beer Choir
Whether you’re a vocal ensemble veteran or have never sung in a group before, you are welcome here – all experience levels are valued!
SONG CHOICE: For this event, we will gather around “More Waters Rising” originally by Saro Lynch-Thomason and arranged for choir by the Podd Brothers. The song reflects on the ecological and social changes sweeping our world and reminds us that we have the communal strength to make it through these challenging times.
LEARNING THE MUSIC: Sheet music and vocal recordings of each part will be available as learning resources at least a week before the event, to accommodate multiple ways of learning. These resources will either be included in your order confirmation or sent out in an email! The intention is for us to come into the gathering having already familiarized ourselves with the parts, so that we can spend our time together really diving into the joys of connection and expression in the music rather than simply teaching parts one by one.
