SINGING Songs of reemigrants from the former Yugoslavia

Led by Joanna Skowrońska
for all interested persons

The workshop of songs of reemigrants from the former Yugoslavia will be based on the leader’s field research and experience of singing practice in villages around Bolesławiec. We will work on vocal emission, harmony and broaden our knowledge of the cultural context of the performed repertoire.
