Elise’s visit to Hickory was a great joy for the members of the UUCCV congregation and their friends. We hope she will return again soon! To keep up with Elise’s performance and teaching schedule, see http://www.elisewitt.com
Here’s a great video clip of Elise singing “Blessed be the Nation” at 1st Iconium Baptist Church (Atlanta) in a prelude to the Jan 26, 2008 People’s Movement Assembly. (If you can’t run the youtube clip, use this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRl1KpZIigI)embed:

3. Sunday service at the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Catawba Valley
Sunday, April 20 at 11:00 a.m.
Elise Witt will provide special music, lead congregational singing, and speak about her life work which integrates music and teaching with engagement in the struggles for human rights, peace and justice issues and international/intercultural understanding. More about the fun:
For adults who think they can’t carry a tune in a bucket or anyone who wants to have fun singing in an ensemble. These workshops and classes focus on the enjoyment of singing while also working with the basics of breath, muscle control, tone production, and vocal technique. Repertoire includes rounds and songs from around the world. Music reading is not a pre-requisite. Even self professed “non-singers” find themselves at the end of the first hour singing in glorious 3-7 part harmony.
