Hi friends! I'm gathering some friends to sing and record a lil choral piece I've written about octopi (and what might happen if they wear pants!)

On April 12th from 1-5PM, I will be hosting a rehearsal and recording session of my piece, putting pants on the octopus, because I want to sing with YOU and I want to sing with you about octopi. We will be recording in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. 

Note: This is an unpaid project but I will do everything in my power to provide good snacks, a safe space for singing, and hopefully a good time. You will also, obviously, get credit in the video description. 

The deadline to sign up is March 31st and you will receive an email with the exact location, details, a voice part assignment, and a score on April 4th. (If you want a sneak peek of the score it's here -> https://www.hannahcaisobel.com/scores under Choral.)

Feel free to email hannahcsobel@gmail.com if you have any questions!
