Enchanted Songs of the Slavic Soul

Join internationally acclaimed performer and educator Polina Skovoroda-Shepherd for an immersive vocal journey into the heart of Eastern Europe. This singing workshop open to the public goes beyond mere singing; it is an exploration of the "Slavic Soul"—a cultural space existing between life and death, the earthly and the divine. Led by Polina Skovoroda-Shepherd, a composer and choir leader raised in a Cossack/Jewish family in Tatarstan, this workshop utilizes her specially developed teaching methods. You will explore ornamentation, modal experimentation, and the specific "East European sound" in a way that is both free and focused. Workshop Tuition: Suggested donation $30 per person. Please consider a more generous pay-it-forward donation if you are able, otherwise, pay what you can. No one will be turned away for lack of funds but a donation (even a small one) is required to secure your spot.
