The Saturday Soirée - a free song series open to the community
The Saturday Soirée is an eight week long song coaching series. Singers get free coachings at Music and Mentoring House on Thursday and Friday evenings from 6pm to 9pm by Lauren and guest coaches. They are encouraged to pick a cycle of songs or a group of songs that they will then coach one at a time each week and perform on Saturdays for a small audience at Music and Mentoring House. Every week they will give the audience information about the composer and/or the poet of the song from the group or cycle they are performing. Each week they will coach a new song and perform it together with the song from the previous week. By the eighth week they will perform the entire group or cycle for the audience uninterrupted.
Students are encouraged to select songs that speak to an event of personal transformation that their own life circumstances can illuminate.
They will be coached in all aspects of the song from style and poetry to historical information and performance practices. Each week they will get to choose which aspects of their preparation to share with the audience.
Class size is limited so that every performer has at least one full hour of coaching per song every week.
