Music That Makes Community is focused on developing and renewing oral practices of singing together, and is grounded in a theology of welcome and generosity. The main activity of MMC are four three-day events held each year in North America: in California in the winter, in New York City in the Fall, and in two other locations in other regions of the US and Canada in spring and summer. We also do shorter workshops and consultations with congregations. At these events, leaders from a diverse pool of skilled and talented musicians introduce ways of singing together that make transformative experiences of wholehearted engagement possible for people from across the spectrum of musical experience--from professional, trained musicians to folks who confess to mouthing the words to hymns for fear of being heard singing. Each MMC event is unique; leaders and participants learn together by doing as they sing, share stories and join in conversation about the power of music to bind us to one another and to God.
