For the past 12 years, I have been guiding Vocal Circles in communities, universities, artistic groups, and cultural spaces.
For me, a Vocal Circle is an act of sharing, freedom, and collective expression.
It is about human connection through the power of polyphony, about developing musicality through spontaneous interaction, and about our love for music.
✨ With great joy and excitement, I invite you to join us on Monday, September 29th (15:00 – 18:00) for our first Vocal Circle at Roes Theatre, with two very special guests:
Zahara – composer, orchestrator, pianist, educator & producer, Artistic Director of the Grammy-nominated Berklee Indian Ensemble.
Nana Simopoulos – internationally acclaimed composer, multi-instrumentalist & facilitator of vocal ensembles.
In our 1st Circle we will:
- Play with sound & movement – through improvisation, storytelling, rhythmic games, and body percussion, we will reconnect with our inner child.
- Explore global rhythms – a taste of Konnakol (the South Indian rhythmic language) and unique meters from around the world.
- Circle Singing – collective creation of spontaneous songs inspired by India, the Middle East, and the Balkans.
- Free the voice – experimenting with different vocal colors and textures in a safe and supportive space.
The Vocal Circle is open to all, regardless of race, gender, nationality, age, or musical experience.
No auditions, no pressure – just three hours of vocal play, connection, and inspiration with three experienced artists and circle facilitators.
