Monthly Singing Circles

Singing together has long been one of the simplest and most powerful ways for communities to gather — to celebrate, mourn, remember, stay connected to one another, and carry cultural memory across generations.

This circle is an invitation to come together and create a shared space where songs can live again through collective voices.

We will begin with Turkish folk melodies, honoring the rich musical heritage of Anatolia, while holding a broader vision beyond any single culture: to nurture a living archive of songs where different languages, traditions, and cultural memories can be shared in a spirit of openness, listening, and care.

No musical or language background is needed. Just come as you are, bring your curiosity, and lend your voice to the circle.

  • Join us for a gathering of voices exploring Turkish folk melodies.

    We’ll learn by ear.
    We’ll sing in repetition.
    We’ll let the songs carry us.

    No Turkish required. No experience needed.
    Just bring your voice and an open heart.
