Event Details
A series of free workshops to allow Tasmanians to join in and understand more about the making and sharing of culture. Working with experienced workshop leaders and cultural community leaders, these workshops are all about participation, experience and the joy of new discoveries.
World Song and Breath
Sat 9 Mar, 12 – 2pm
The World of Song workshop will offer you a chance to relax and sing out – no matter what your musical background or level of experience.
You don’t have to be able to read music or know other languages to join in. The workshop director and conductor of Sisongke Choir, Lyndall Edwards, will make sure you leave your cares behind and be your guide to:
– Learn simple tricks and techniques for making the most of your voice – on the day and in the days to come
– Learn and perform some terrific, inspirational music from around the world.
Language won’t be a barrier to joining in-in fact, the music makes the language that much easier – and it’s a great mental workout. At the same time the music uplifts your body and spirit.
