Bring the Sing on the Capitol Green

Click here for Moorhead Bring the Sing registration info

Attention, singers of all abilities! To help celebrate the grand opening of the new Minnesota State Capitol building, we're teaming up with VocalEssence for a very special Bring the Sing on the Capitol Green on Sunday, Aug. 13, at 1 p.m. Come join us as we sing familiar and favorite songs — and a few surprises — led by conductor G. Phillip Shoultz, III, of the renowned choral ensemble VocalEssence.

This really is an event for all: whether you're a choir member, an amateur, a professional vocalist, or just an in-the-shower singer, we want you there! No music-reading ability is needed, and no sheet music will be distributed before the event. The only requirement is that you arrive ready to sing! (And you can bring your lawn chair or blanket, water bottle, sunscreen.)

We also encourage you to take part in the other fun, family-friendly events throughout the Capitol grand opening weekend. Sign up below to get updates and additional details on this special Bring the Sing event. We look forward to seeing you there!

Pre-registration for this event is now closed. If you'd still like to participate, simply join us at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 13. Please plan accordingly to arrive a bit before 1 p.m. See you then!
