Songs for the Soul in a holiday center in the Andalusian mountains

€755.00

Singing In The New Year

Inspiring Eastern traditions – with added Spanish sunshine.

From Saturday Dec 29, 2018 to Saturday Jan 05, 2019

Most people familiar with choral singing know the wonderfully rich, very different sounds of Russian and Eastern European choirs – and if you have never heard them, you are in for an ear-opening way to a joyous community experience. 
You don’t have to be Russian to do it; this is for anybody who wants to have a go, regardless of previous experience or musical knowledge. The content will be drawn from traditional Christmas and New Year songs, ritual music for pagan holidays, wedding and folk dance songs, Cossack music and beautiful lyrical pieces. While others look fearfully at foreign cultures, discover the riches of one!

There will also be time for all the usual holiday activities; massage, yoga, dance, walking in glorious nature, quiet times and more.
