Come join us for a magical week where we build a music community. You will be welcomed, accepted, encouraged, and challenged to grow whether you start as a beginner or are polishing skills. From the generosity of the workshop leaders to the support of the other participants who are taking risks along side you, join the opportunities to improve your musical abilities and decide how you will take your music back to the world.
Each day begins with chapel, followed by workshops, and optional afternoon activities of classes, singing, teaching, creating, playing and learning. Your days at Ferry Beach can include the beach, naps, walks or all of the above. The evenings have more opportunities to create music in song circles, coffee house, talent/no talent shows and anywhere else the spirit hits you including porch sings and jams. AND we encourage all of you to bring songs you know and can teach or lead – our best resource and inspiration are each other! Let the ocean waves create new rhythms, the cry of the seagulls – new melodies and the spirit of the week – new lyrics. Nancy Smith Circle of Music Scholarship
The Nancy Smith Circle of Music Scholarship fund has been established in memory of the late Nancy Smith, long-term Circle of Music Attendee. Nancy nurtured her spirituality and celebrated her love of music through Unitarian Universalist church choirs and the Ferry Beach Retreat and Conference Center Circle of Music Program. Through the scholarship started by her loving son Scott Smith and sister Lucinda Sanders, the memory of Nancy will live on in one of her most cherished places. To apply for the scholarship, please fill out the form below. Each year a scholarship recipient will be selected two months prior to the start of the Circle of Music Conference. |
Rise Up Singing and get ready for Circle of Music 2023! Because we have Annie Patterson and Peter Blood, editors of our music “bibles” Rise Up Singing and Rise Again, joining us as guest artists for the entire Circle of Music week!
We have so much already planned:
Annie is a very active solo and group performer. Peter is engaged in and committed to doing environmental and racial justice work. Both Peter and Annie are amazing musicians and educators whose life’s focus is on “creating peace and justice through communal singing”. This will be a week of musical wonderment as we learn, grow and share together on our musical journey. Make sure you don’t miss out on a magical week at Ferry Beach! Sign up today before space fills up! We will be using both Rise Up Singing and Rise Again through out our week. Be sure to bring your copies, or buy them online now!
