[Kellie Hart]

Hi Again: I've also been meaning to pass info for you all about an upcoming
Gospel Workshop (see at the end of this email) and the Sacred Sing (see
below).  Lots going on!  -Kellie

*Save the date: Imbolc Sacred Sing with Heidi Wilson and members of UCM's
Worship and Arts Committee*
*Sat. Jan. 30th, 6:30-7:30pm, via Zoom*
Imbolc is halfway between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. Join as we
gather virtually to lift our voices to honor the turning of the seasons and
the strengthening of the light! Songs will be simple and all taught by
ear.  We encourage you to have something near you that honors each element
(Air, Fire, Water, and Earth). A candle, a bowl of melted snow, maybe a
feather for air, etc. ALL voices, faiths, and generations welcome.
Listeners welcome too.  Use this link to register and you'll be emailed the
Zoom information:

Interpreting Gospel Music

The Montpelier Community Gospel Choir invites you to join us in an online
workshop on Monday, January 25 at 7:00 p.m.

The interpretation of Gospel Music extends beyond the notes, rhythms and
handclaps. Its compelling characteristics lie at the root of black
experience in America and are a distinct reflection of how one's
relationship with God has contributed to that journey. This masterclass
will explore the roots of African American folk-based music styles ( i.e.,
gospel, jazz, blues, soul, R&B) to provide insight into understanding the
sound, feel, interpretation, and function of the music within a culturally
viable performance.

The workshop will be led by Dr. Trineice Robinson-Martin. Dr. Trineice has
dedicated her career to performing and developing resources for teaching
jazz, gospel/christian, R&B, rock, country, and pop singing styles. She is
currently on the faculty at Princeton University as the jazz voice
instructor, lecturer, and director of the Jazz Vocal Collective Ensemble,
and maintains a private voice studio in Lawrenceville NJ.
