We're sorry to say that this show has been cancelled, due to ongoing renovations at the church that were not completed in time for the show.

Join members of Magpie Vocal Improv Ensemble for a joyful, low-pressure workshop exploring the art of creating vocal music in the moment. Open to anyone—no experience required—this workshop uses simple games and guided exercises to spark creativity, build trust, and awaken spontaneity.

Together, we’ll explore listening, leading, following, and collaborating as we learn how to invent vocal music as a group. Whether you’re brand new to vocal improvisation or a seasoned singer looking to loosen up, you’ll leave with practical tools, fresh inspiration, and a deeper sense of connection through sound.

Come ready to play, take risks, and discover what’s possible when we create together.

The members of Magpie -- Marta Aarli, Celeste Niehaus, Tom Weiser, and Roy Willey -- create music spontaneously, without a score, chart, or director. Magpie’s strength lies in its ability to open to the unknown and transform the immediacy of the moment into compelling, relatable music. Every piece Magpie sings is improvised in the moment, never sung before, never to be sung again.

We'll be performing as part of a day-long, backyard music festival. Details and ticket link coming soon!
