鈥淪anta Fe Sings!鈥� gives voice to the community and fellowship.

鈥淐ommunity singing is one of the few places where we鈥檙e getting together now across boundaries of age, social class, religious background and political view,鈥� Joshua Habermann, Santa Fe Desert Chorale artistic director, said.

The event, he said, is open to all ages who want to spend time 鈥渆njoying the fellowship of singing.鈥�

鈥淥ver the course of the day, they learn the music, and we talk about the skills,鈥� Habermann said. 鈥淲e talk about what we鈥檙e trying to do as singers, and bring those skills back to our local ensembles.鈥�

鈥淲e invite local choirs to set up tables in the foyer of the venue where we do the event, so that the singers then can see all the choirs that are available to them in the community,鈥� he said.

鈥淪anta Fe Sings!鈥� began in 2016, and a decade later, Habermann said it has remained successful and on an upward trajectory. This year, registration to participate sold out, with singers from young students to people in their 80s, he said.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a really gratifying growth, and people look forward to it every single year,鈥� Habermann said.

Community singing, he said, is different from playing in an orchestra or band.

鈥淪inging is quite different. I can pull somebody off of the street and say, 鈥楬ey, I can get you in a choir today. And find a way for you to participate,鈥欌�� Habermann said. 鈥淪o in that sense, it鈥檚 really truly accessible to all people.鈥�

Throughout the day of practice, he said, the singers run the songs and talk about the value of music in life. The event supports training local singers, he said, and building their skills and love for the art form.

While directing the Santa Fe Desert Chorale differs from directing 鈥淪anta Fe Sings!鈥� the philosophy is the same, he said.

鈥淭he underlying principles of what ensemble singing is about, those are all the same,鈥� Habermann said.

The workshops culminate with a free performance at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19. This year鈥檚 programming includes 鈥淲e Are the Music Makers鈥� by Reginal Wright, which was chosen because it is a required audition piece for some young singers in their honor choirs.

鈥淲e thought it would be great for the young singers that are participating to have some practice reps at that tune before they do the audition,鈥� Habermann said.

The other pieces include a Bach chorale to familiarize people with music the Santa Fe Desert Chorale performs during the concert season and a cultural folk song from South Africa.

The programming also includes Andrea Ramsey鈥檚 鈥淗ope Lingers On.鈥�

鈥淚t鈥檚 a really positive vision for how we can live together as a community,鈥� Habermann said, 鈥渁nd I think that鈥檚 what community singing is all about.鈥�

Habermann said the energy throughout the day is lighthearted and friendly, with participants sharing what they鈥檝e learned with those supporting them.

鈥淲e invite our friends and family into the space that we鈥檝e been in all day, and just say, 'Hey, we鈥檙e going to share these pieces that are obviously not perfect because we鈥檝e only been learning them for half a day, but you can see where we are in the process and how far we鈥檝e gotten,鈥欌�� Habermann said. 鈥淎nd people get excited for that.鈥�

He wants the audience to feel uplifted by the performance.

鈥淲e want them to feel really good about a positive event where people are coming together across boundaries that would otherwise normally separate us,鈥� Habermann said.
