    Description

    A unique chance to study Russian singing with two expert singers at once! Polina Shepherd, an acclaimed singer, composer and choir leader, will guide you through the world of choral singing and beautiful polyphonic harmonies. While Polina Proutskova, a specialist in traditional folk singing and the curator of the festival, will teach you how these songs used to sound in the village. You will hear archival recordings of folk singers and commune with beings from another world via ritual singing. Singing in original dialects, you will experience Russian heterophony – a polyphony created through simultaneous improvisation by each of the singers. And then you will follow the path of great Russian composers to the arrangements of these songs in Western musical tradition: introducing bar counts and vertical harmonies, reducing the dialects and blending vocal timbres – so that familiar songs sound in the way we all know and love. You will have a chance to perform a song with IZBA Voices and the London Russian Choir at the evening concert (optional). Music lovers of all backgrounds and singing levels are invited, no experience necessary. Children from the age of ten and over are welcome.
