NATURAL RHYTHMS 
Terry Garthwaite (Lagunitas CA), Becky Reardon (Questa NM), Elise Witt (Pine Lake GA)

Imagine Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, Annie Ross and Edith Piaf taking a turn from Barbara Kingsolver and Dr. Seuss and you’ll have some idea of these mad and moving musical adventures.

IN CONCERT

Whether it’s a plaintive cry for families at the border, a polyrhythmic improvisation on the physics of sound, an anthem to the preservation of wild rivers and oceans, or a musical ride on the love train, Terry, Becky & Elise cook from the minute they hit the stage. Bringing three radically different voices to the blend, their voices find each other in that mysterious world of harmony in diversity. The trio’s concerts are also famous for getting the audience singing, and even self-professed “non-singers” find themselves part of an Impromptu Glorious Chorus™.

AN IMPROMPTU GLORIOUS CHORUS™ SINGING WORKSHOP

Singing together takes us deeply into the experience of being held and lifted by the sound of our voices making music together. We will be singing songs of celebration, ceremony and community, songs celebrating the earth and our own spirit and creativity, songs of healing and passage, songs of playfulness and joy. We will explore our wildly versatile voices in the rainbow of colors available to us individually and as an ensemble. All of the songs are broken down into easily learnable parts and become thrilling to sing in a group. Even people who think they “can’t carry a tune in a bucket” in no time find themselves part of an impromptu glorious chorus™. Music reading is not a prerequisite.
