ways to sing with Marv

(and many wonderful people!)

  • Joyful Voices Chorus

    Our 7-week community choir series in Novato and San Anselmo, culminating in our community-wide Big Sing on May 5th. With a consistent group, we dig into some juicier songs and deepen our feeling of community with each other.

  • Central Marin Singers

    Our drop-in choir, where (as in all of Marv’s groups) no singing experience is needed, there’s no music to read, and all voices are welcome. And SO. MUCH. FUN. Next one: Wednesday, June 5th with Guest Songleader Shireen Amini joining Marv!

  • Free Pop-Up Choirs

    Musical flashmobs that spread the joy of singing together! We show up at public events like farmers’ markets, invite passers-by to step into our circle, and sing songs that we learn in 5 minutes. Next one: Saturday, April 27th at Marin Country Mart.

"When everything in life presses from outside of us, we have no choice but to sing like scared children relying on their song to stop the pain, the way that fire stalls the cold. This is the secret of all spirit, why it cannot stay inside, but must be brought from within us into the world. For it is the song from within that keeps the pain of living from snuffing our lives. It is the song from within ignited, again, and again, that keeps the world going."
