“Confluence” – Songs of Rivers and Connection
Workshop With County of Song’s Loz Kaye
Join County of Song’s Loz Kaye for a free vocal workshop exploring traditional and newsongsdiving in tothe theme of water and the power of music to connect us together. “Confluence” is part of a project researching ways of bringing the voices of people facing barriers to taking part in regular sessions together with live singers. This will happen through live mixing with recordings, so come and try something a bit different!
You don’t need any particular singing background or to read music, but some experience of singing in parts / harmony will be helpful. Material will be provided, and you can have access to it ahead of time digitally. We are happy for families and young people to join. People under 15 should be accompanied by an adult.
Numbers are strictly limited due to space available.
