The Foundry Sings!
December 21, 2023 @ 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM
$10
The rafters of the 160 year old Stone Hall at the Miners Foundry Cultural Center will ring on Thursday, December 21, 2023, from 6:00 – 8:30 p.m.! Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the singing begins at 6:00 p.m. Rod will lead us in a sing-a-long of festive and beloved holiday carols (a different format than our usual Foundry Sings events).
This unique countywide experience aims to gather people of all ages and singing levels under one roof to share in the power of song. The Foundry Sings is inspired by the popular Choir! Choir! Choir!, a weekly drop-in singing event based in Toronto, Canada, which has attracted professional musicians such as Patti Smith, David Byrne and Rufus Wainwright to sing with the group.
We are grateful for the generosity of our business sponsor, Dignity Health and their belief in the health benefits of singing!
How It Works
When attendees arrive, they are given a lyric sheet to a popular contemporary song. Attendees do not need to know how to read music, Rod Baggett and Jonathan Meredith will teach vocal arrangement and lead practices. At the end of the evening everyone joins together to sing the song. The performance is filmed and posted on YouTube. Everyone has a grand time and goes home feeling great!

Miners Foundry Cultural Center
The quarterly event is a fundraiser for the Miners Foundry Cultural Center’s building improvement fund.

Each year over 400 events are hosted in our beautiful halls including signature events presented by the Miners Foundry. Individually, these events represent how diverse the arts are in our community, and together they make up the rich cultural fabric we have come to enjoy for generations.
