With
Chris Rowbury
Spend the weekend with Chris Rowbury to learn a wide range of harmony songs from across Eastern Europe. A fantastic opportunity to discover songs from harmony traditions that go back almost a thousand years.
Learn songs from a range of Eastern European cultures and traditions: crunchy harmonies from the Balkans, Romanian lullabies, Czech gypsy passion, haunting chants from the Russian Orthodox church, gorgeous clashing harmonies from Georgia, mountain hollers from Macedonia and much more.
> ChrisRowbury by FarncombeEstate
All songs will be taught by ear in the traditional way. No previous experience is necessary, just a love of singing. This will be a relaxed, informal and fun weekend of group harmony singing. You will be surprised and delighted by the rich and stunning harmonies we will produce in a relatively short time.
This workshop is open to all whether you just sing in the bath, or perform in public. All songs have been carefully chosen and arranged for unaccompanied voice.
Please bring plenty of water to drink during sessions as singing for a whole day can be thirsty work! Please also wear comfortable clothes and shoes as there are periods of standing during rehearsals and some movement while singing.
