Parallel Octave chorus: musical/poetic improvisation

****Please note that Parallel Octave does not meet at the Free School, but in Charles Village****
In this course, we perform a poem with music, and record it. We are a group of actors and musicians called Parallel Octave (http://paralleloctave.wordpress.com) seeking new collaborators. We work on choruses -- poems read and sung by multiple voices, and performed to improvised music. Past poets have included Blake, Auden, Donne, Frost, Dylan Thomas, and others.
Our weekly sessions are open to all Baltimore actors, singers, and musicians who are interested in experimentation.
We meet every two weeks at a home in Charles Village, off site--*not* at the Baltimore Free School--to take advantage of musical instruments that are difficult to move. For the location of this event, please email Daniel Schwartz at dps1986@gmail.com.
You can listen to some of the recordings we've made already here:http://paralleloctave.wordpress.com/recordings.html

The course is ongoing, with occasional breaks. Participants in the course are welcome to come and go as they please: we want to accomodate artists with schedule conflicts, and keep an open door for all performers to come in. Bring your instruments and your ideas. You must be comfortable with having the session recorded and shared in order to attend.
