Song Circle
Held on the first and third Monday of each month, Song Circle is a listening-based gathering for songwriters who want to bring their work into the room without performance, fixing, or critique. Song Circle was selected by the Creative Change Mapping Project as a music program making a difference, with the project authors noting:
Song Circle allows for collaboration, friendships and supportive networks to emerge and be strengthened. Younger and less experienced musicians gain mentoring and performing opportunities from more experienced (world class) musicians and intergenerational collaborations have been formed. Through these gatherings, the Song Circle contributes to the building and sustaining of the musical community in and around Moonah/Hobart and surrounding areas.
Each circle is an invitation to slow down and let songs be heard as they are — unfinished, uncertain, alive. We listen. We don’t analyse or advise.
Song Circle is held in my nipaluna/Hobart home and is intentionally small. This allows for safety, intimacy, and enough time for each song to land.
People come for many reasons:
- to reconnect with their voice
- to find courage to share new or fragile work
- to write without pressure
- to remember why they started making songs in the first place
Practical details:
- First and third Monday of each month
- Hosted in my nipaluna/Hobart home
- Limited numbers
- Open to songwriters at all stages
Contribution: I ask for a sliding-scale contribution of $20–$40. This supports the space, the hosting, and the ongoing work of holding the circle. No one is turned away for lack of funds.
If this feels like something you’d like to be part of, please drop me a line.
