Pitchfolk is a weekend of song, feasting and friendship, featuring workshops of polyphonic music from around the world, led by renowned choir leaders and educators who are expert in those traditions. The weekend is open to anyone who is interested to explore their voice and learn songs from around the world.
This year we'll be learning Yiddish and Slavic songs, with Polina Shepherd, leader of Slavic Voices choir, and special arrangements of Icelandic folk songs with renowned Icelandic folk singer, Bara Grimsdottir. As well as the singing workshops we'll have, as always, storytelling, informal singing sessions, and our Saturday night feast, with performances from the floor.
