Chatham Community Library will host "Music of the Circle" featuring songwriter and storyteller Eric Bannan on Saturday, October 19, from 2:00 - 4:00 pm in the Holmes Family Meeting Room. This event is free and open to the public but registration is required.

This workshop is for anyone interested in being more confident, connected and opening new creative pathways in their lives. Participants will playfully blend voices, body percussion and simple movement in a way that builds community and teaches cooperation. Based on the work of Bobby McFerrin and Brazil’s Música do Circulo collective, this judgment-free workshop welcomes beginners as well as those with experience. Watch this informative video for an introduction to the concepts of Music of the Circle.

Eric Bannan is a Vocal Explorer, Storyteller and songwriter with over 40 years of performing experience. His mission is to bring joy, heal and build community with story and song. He has traveled far and wide to study with folks like Bobby McFerrin, Rhiannon and Brazil’s Música do Circulo collective.
