Singing workshop with a difference – 22/03/10

A SINGING workshop with a professional singer from Jerusalem, Dafna Dori, proved to be so inspiring for organiser, Cat Young, that she is offering a repeat opportunity for those who missed it, or those who would like to do it again!

Cat explained: “Dafna came over to Wallingford in July 2009 and led a session where we learnt two folk songs ?one in Hebrew and one in Arabic. Very quickly we were able to get this sounding really good, and then added a bit of rhythm to create an even more beautiful sound!

“But don?t take my word for it; this is what Elizabeth said after the last event:

?I can?t believe how much we learned in two hours ? some new warm-ups, new modes, secrets of how Middle Eastern singers get those subtle effects, pronunciation, rhythm… Dafna was very charming, kind and encouraging.?

If you?d like to join in with this fun, practical workshop and you?re a singer or musician of any standard, then come along to the Crowmarsh Pavilion (near Wallingford) on Monday, March 22.

Doors open at 6:15pm and the workshop starts promptly at 6:30pm, and the evening will end around 8:30pm.
