Sing in the spring with the uniquely beautiful tones and harmonies of songs from Bulgaria, Croatia, Ukraine, Georgia and beyond. These songs are evocative and vibrant, making for a singing experience that is exhilarating, unique and delicious to the ears and the heart. In opening our voices and ears to new sounds, we can forge fresh connections with ourselves, each other, and the cultures from which these songs come.
We will learn primarily through oral tradition of call and response – no music reading or singing experience required.
