 Sing for Happiness

12:45pm-1:30pm

Lift your spirits with this feel-good, gospel-style singalong led by the brilliant Kim Samuels. Join in and experience the joy of singing together, in partnership with St George’s Bristol and the Diverse Artists Network. Just bring your voice and your enthusiasm!

Kim Samuels is a music educator, who was inspired through her upbringing in the Pentecostal church where she had her first taste of leading choirs.  She is co-founder and leader of Bristol based Renewal Choir, conducts the UWE Bristol Gospel Choir and is the leader of the Bristol Windrush Reggae Choir. Kim is also a member of and serves on the leadership of The Kingdom Choir.  Expect a fun, friendly and informal session where you will experience the joy of singing in 3-part harmony. Reading music is not required, as singing will be taught by ear. Water and comfortable clothing recommended.
