The Venue
Haddon Acre is home to a traditional Mongolian yurt. Enjoy one of the best views in Oxfordshire in this peaceful spot, located on the south side of the Wittenham Clumps with panoramic views of the Chilterns. You will appreciate the magic of being close to one of the earliest human settlements with the history being literally part of the landscape.
The Workshop Leader
Holly Taylor-Zuntz is a voice leader, song collector and multi-disciplinary artist from Oxford who has been living in Georgia and studying Georgian songs for the last seven years. In 2022 she trained as a Natural Voice Leader with Frankie Armstrong.
Holly leads Kalta Choir, a Georgian choir for women, and other community singing events in Oxford. See more at www.hollytaylor-zuntz.com
She is one of the founders of Voices of the Ancestors, a podcast and theatre show about Georgian polyphonic songs, the women who sing them, and how they came to be loved in the UK. For more info go to: www.voicesoftheancestors.co.uk
Who can join?
This workshop is open to those who can hold a tune while singing with others. No previous experience of Georgian music is required, and you do not need to be able to read music. There are no limitations on gender or age (although minors should be accompanied by an adult).
Ticket info
Cost: £55 via paypal on TicketTailor.
Unfortunately I cannot offer concessions for this workshop, due to limited capacity in the yurt.
Once the event is full, I will start a waitlist in case of any dropouts. Tickets are non-refundable, unless you are able to pass it on to someone else on the waitlist.
