About this Event

Singing Back the Light: A Community Song Circle


🎶Come Sing Oak Park🎶


Join songleader Megan Eberhardt for easy-to-join group harmony singing that fosters connection and joy, focused on the simple pleasure of raising voices in community. All songs will be taught orally, on-the-spot, with no prior singing experience necessary.

All voices welcome!

Community Singing is a growing movement for all people who want to sing, all voices. We sing songs that layer melodies through having different parts sung at once, rounds, call-and-echo songs, and more. Singing has always been a part of people coming together!! Whether to march or to mourn, to commemorate or to celebrate, or to simply bring beauty and joy to what today can feel monotonous and mundane. Come remember the simple joy of singing together! And walk away revitalized, connected, and with new sing-able songs in your pockets.


✨$20 / person, no one turned away✨


Logistics: We will be at First United Church in Oak Park. There is a parking lot in the back. This is not a religious song circle! All people, all faiths, and the faithless are welcome. We will sing for one hour, 3:30-4:30. You can pay at the door (cash, Zelle, Venmo) or via Eventbrite.


Songleader Megan Eberhardt currently leads community singing workshops at the Old Town School of Folk Music and elsewhere around the city. Remembering how to be people together and seeding ways of real human culture is some of her life's work. She can't wait to sing with you!
