Join friends and neighbors in this one of a kind collective choral event! Led and arranged by beloved NYC music leader Kenter Davies (who grew up in Sudbury!), we’ll explore harmony, free our voices, and build community through the song “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. There’s no auditions, no experience necessary, and no seeking of perfection, We’ll just be making music for music-making’s sake!
A timeless classic about the beauty of the natural world and the kindness we can afford one another as humans, “What a Wonderful World” feels more important than ever to sing. We’ll explore a choral arrangement of the tune featuring lush, jazzy harmonies.
During our time together we will:
○ Play singing games to activate our voices, bodies, and connection to one another
○ Work through the song section by section, infusing some musicality as we go
○ Discuss the lyrics of the song and what meaning we can find in it
○ Sing through the song a bunch and explore the different journeys it may take us on!
A week prior to the event, you’ll receive the sheet music and vocal demos arrangement of the song to use as a resource. You don’t have to be able to read sheet music, you can absolutely learn by ear! We encourage folks to arrive familiar with the arrangement, but there’s no pressure to learn everything in advance. We’ll fill in the gaps for one another as we explore and play along the way!
