Workshops/Concerts
WORKSHOPS/PRESENTATIONS
An informative event that explores transforming conflict with music and addressing divisiveness in our communities. The workshops are frequently interactive and utilize music and facilitated conversation to explore related themes.
CONCERTS
Samantha Sinai and Barbara Dunn, of Common Sounds, are both professional musicians and frequently perform in various venues, from large public venues, to sacred spaces (e.g., church, synagogue), to more intimate house concerts. They are available for concerts presented with the intention of bringing people together to inspire communities to dream of what the world could look like, and in keeping with the theme of building bridges with music.
COMMUNITIES in HARMONY
We bring together two groups of people who might not otherwise interact with each other. These could be two groups from different faiths, political, or ideological settings. The workshop engages the groups in making music together and alternating that with having conversations with one another. The music might involve singing, listening to music, songwriting, and/or playing musical instruments. Conversations that are dovetailed with the music explore meaningful topics to create understanding but not to try and change another person's point of view. They will utilize small and large group formats.
The second part of the Communities in Harmony experience is an evening concert with the two communities who have participated in the workshop. This concert will be a blending of each group performing pieces on their own, a few songs in collaboration with one another, and the facilitators adding a few songs from their repertoire.
