Programme
Singing for Inspiration, Meditations, Inspiration
In this atelier, we will explore music from different traditions—from South Asia, Africa, and the Mediterranean—that may be less familiar to us. Together, we will see how music from these regions can inspire us and help us to experience a sense community, in ways we never knew were possible. We will work by ear, using the body, percussion and space. Come, be inspired and uplifted!
