Notes of Thanks: A Paperless Music Celebration
2024-11-05 14:00 - 15:30 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | Green Street Pub, 911 N. Green St., Brownsburg, 46112, United States
It’s Election Day. So, let’s sing! Let’s take a break from the news, cultivate community, and unite your voice in song to foster a sense of gratitude for – and belonging with – one another.
Order some snacks and a drink – it’s a pub, yes, you may order a beer! – and then be present with others on what is sure to be a long night. Offer hospitality and encouragement to each other by working with a music leader to collaborate on the joyous act of making music. It’s okay to feel vulnerable and uncomfortable, but we promise by taking a (low hanging!) risk of singing with strangers you will feel better about the civic bonds we are capable of creating with our friends and neighbors.

Event Organizers: A partnership between Good Samaritan Episcopal Church and Green Street Pub.

2025-11-08 17:00 - 18:30 | Indianapolis Art Center, 820 E. 67th St., Indianapollis, 46220, United States
From tree roots to rivers to vocal cords, all life vibrates. Explore the elemental aspects of Nature within us through focused listening, voice, and movement. Guided by choral artists and soundscape ecologists, participants will create a living soundscape that echoes the vibrational song of Nature and spirit.
Experience the sounds of nature and the human voice in a participatory choral exploration. Guided by singers, participants will co–create vocal and bodily sounds inspired by earth, air, water, and fire, culminating in a collective chorus. Reflections and insights from soundscape ecology invite attendees to consider the spiritual, cultural, and ecological dimensions of sound. This immersive event encourages deep listening, improvisation, and quiet contemplation, fostering personal and communal connections to nature’s vast symphony. All are welcome, no previous singing experience needed.
*Weather permitting, this event will begin outdoors and then move inside.
