It has saved her life multiple times\, and she seeks to pass that favor on through her singing and playing. She performs on guitar and Irish Bouzouki\, and sings proudly through the lens of her lived experience as a transwoman. \nMJ performs a wide-ranging repertoire of curated and embodied music\, with inspiration ranging from the Decemberists to Bon Iver to Ezra Furman to Celtic folks music\, along with the occasional original song. She is also deeply connected to the music of her Jewish culture\, embodying music from Eastern Europe to Morocco and Yemen\, and to the United States. \nProfessionally\, MJ has been a social worker and social work educator for the last 32 years\, and has sought to bring music into her practice as a way to create connections of heart and spirit. MJ’s singing is guaranteed to give you the feels. \nWild Voice Chorus\n \nWild Voice Chorus is a community choir for folks who love to sing in harmony. Led by Sarina Partridge\, Wild Voice sings music from many harmony traditions\, which Sarina has studied with master teachers and tradition bearers around the world—Bulgarian\, Georgian\, Yiddish\, South African\, Corsican\, Shapenote\, and original songs. \nWild Voice is a community built around the enlivening power of raising our voices together! \n\nThank you to our event sponsors!\n \n        Abbie Schain \n  URL:https://www.mnipl.org/event/songs-are-seeds-earth-day-benefit-concert/ LOCATION:First Universalist Church of Minneapolis\, 3400 Dupont Ave S\, Minneapolis\, MN\, 55408\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.mnipl.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Earth-Day-Benefit-Concert-Meme-2023.png ORGANIZER;CN="Liz Loeb":MAILTO:liz@mnipl.org GEO:44.9409153;-93.2935645 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=First Universalist Church of Minneapolis 3400 Dupont Ave S Minneapolis MN 55408 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=3400 Dupont Ave S:geo:-93.2935645,44.9409153 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
