May 18 | 3pm | Wavertree | $11–$33 Suggested
Join the Seaport Museum and Gaia Music Collective for the launch of Blue Mind Fest, a series of programs that will take place throughout the year that seamlessly blend education, well-being, and sustainability while fostering a holistic understanding of the profound influence water has on our lives.
This inaugural program invites singers of all levels to join a one-day choir aboard the 1885 tall ship Wavertree. Whether you’re a vocal ensemble veteran or have never sung in a group before, you are welcome to join in, and all experience levels are valued. Naturally, the theme of this one-day choir is water and will feature the hit song “Water” by the South African singer and songwriter Tyla. Over the three-hour event, the choir will begin by rehearsing inside of the expansive cargo hull of the ship and will bring the song to the main deck as the experience progresses.
Tickets start at $1 to participate in this choir experience, however a sliding scale of $11–$33 is suggested. Proceeds will be split between the Gaia Music Collective and the Seaport Museum. Advance registration is required. A complimentary beverage is included in the event.
