OPEN TO ALL LEVELS OF SINGERS (no experience necessary).

Victoria Event Centre (1415 Broad St)
Windborne’s captivating music draws on the singers’ deep roots in traditions of Americana folk and diverse global vocal harmony, while the absolute uniqueness of their artistic approach brings old songs into the present. Known for the innovation of their arrangements, their harmonies are bold and anything but predictable..
“Stunningly powerful…Windborne sets a new bar for harmony singing today!” – NPR
Participants of all abilities will learn singing styles from a variety of countries and cultures as well as songs of social struggle from movements past and present. All songs will be taught by ear, no experience required — just enthusiasm and willingness to try new things! The workshops are a great opportunity to connect with your community, sing out, and gather inspiration and energy. The Windborne singers educate as they entertain, telling stories about the music and explaining the characteristics and stylistic elements of the different traditions. They invite participants to learn some of their signature arrangements, improve vocal technique and health, and sing together in harmony!
COST: FREE, but donations are gratefully accepted. Capacity is Limited to 40 people. (Lots of room to spread out at the venue which has room for 180 people).
