About the Event
Annual Holiday Sing – Sally Potter, wsg Doug Austin, Doug Berch, and Ruelaine Stokes
Do you love to sing holiday music? Would it be too much fun to sing along with terrific pianist Doug Austin as he rolls the keys on a huge grand piano? Have you ever experienced an expert play gorgeous holiday music on the hammered dulcimer (Doug Berch)? During a few singing breaks, Greater Lansing Poet Laureate Ruelaine Stokes will recite a few spoken word pieces. You are invited to join song leader Sally Potter and sing wonderful songs with your community, all evening long. Lyric sheets provided.
For 21 years, hundreds of people who love to sing attend this annual community Holiday Sing to share seasonal songs with friends, new and old.
You are invited!
Bring family and friends to the Holiday Sing and add your voice to a few hundred other voices of people who love to sing this wonderful music – together.
No official music to read; lyric sheets for all songs are passed out – in case some third verses are a little rusty…
Song leader Sally Potter will guide singers through a wide variety of selections surrounding themes of Winter, Solstice, Peace, Home, Christmas, and the New Year.
Acclaimed pianist Doug Austin will accompany most songs and help fill that gorgeous room with many octaves of beautiful sound.
Doug Berch will add the seasonal sounds of the hammered dulcimer to many pieces.
Spoken word artists Ruelaine Stokes will present a few poignant poems and stories.
This is an opportunity to kick off your holiday season in a very personal, musical way.
Hope to see you at The 21st Holiday Sing! – SP
