The Red Tent Singers is a space for women of all ages to gather, connect, and sing. Women need intergenerational spaces to connect, to learn from one another, to heal from oppressive systems, and to strengthen their individual and collective voices. Gathering to create music is integral to the work of creating a more just world, one voice and one gathering at a time. Rehearsals start with a few moments to connect before we move into singing. Music genres will include: folk, gospel, soul, and carefully selected contemporary pieces. There will be a heavy emphasis on harmony and a capella singing with occasional guitar or piano accompaniment. Rudimentary singing skills encouraged, such basic sight reading and harmonizing, but not required. No auditions. Open to women identifying individuals, ages 13 and up: Daughters, mothers, grandmothers, and elders are all welcome. When we say women we include those of both cisgender and transgender experience, non-binary trans femme, intersex and gender-expansive people.
