Workshops

A SONG PROJECT FOR PEACE

Please join us in late November and December at a short series of workshops to create and learn a new song to commemorate peace, and mark the centenary of the 1916 and 1917 votes against conscription in the City of Moreland. 

The workshops will be led by well-known community choir leader and composer Stephen Taberner, supported by choir leaders Emily Hayes (Brunswick Rogues) and Jeannie Marsh.

In late 1917 Adela Pankhurst was imprisoned at Pentridge for her anti-war activities. One hot night in January 1918 her supporters gathered outside the prison walls and “ serenaded” her with “The Red Flag” and Solidarity forever”. More people came and there was argy-bargy with the police, and two  arrests . . .

This current project is in two stages. In late November, people can attend a workshop to have a bit of a sing, and explore ideas for the song and its themes. Two weeks later there will be two workshops to learn the song. 

Qualifications for attending

Everyone is welcome. We just ask that you email us to RSVP. We'd like you to come to both an “ideas” workshop, and one or both of the learning workshops, but if you can only come to learn the song, that's fine too.

Date and time of the workshops (Maximum 3 workshops) 

Ideas workshop. Choose one date. Sunday 27 November, 2pm OR Wed 30 November 7pm

Song learning workshop: Come to one or both: Sunday 11 December 2pm OR Wed 14 December 7pm

Venue: All workshops will be at St Ambrose Community Centre, in the church grounds at 287 Sydney Road Brunswick (just north of the Town Hall).

Please spread the word! Please pass this around social clubs, choirs and bands in the city of Moreland. 

* To register (please include what dates you’ll attend), email us at anticonscription1916@gmail.com 

* We have flyers.  Please let us know if you can take some to distribute. I can drop off in Brunswick if you send an address. 

* Invite people to our Facebook event at www.facebook.com/events/176495042811125/

* Join the song e-list here to keep in touch about future musical events http://eepurl.com/b-R8Lj

What happens next?

1. We're planning to perform the song in public as soon as it's written (please invite us to your event).
2. The song will be publicly available to be learnt and sung, with sheet music and audio available online.
3. We are also planning some larger events in late 1917 and early 2018, to celebrate the centenary of Adela's "serenading".

This project is supported and funded by the Moreland Community Grants program.

It's being organised by a working group of the Brunswick Coburg Anti-Conscription Commemoration Campaign. Join the general e-list here: http://eepurl.com/bFweG5

Best wishes and we hope you can join us,
