Throat Singing Workshop

Unieke kans: 2-daagse keelzang workshop met meesterzanger Batzorig Vaanchig

Twee dagen lang intensief leren van een van Mongolië’s meest vooraanstaande keelzangers en Morin Khuur-spelers.

Het programma in het kort

Op zaterdag verwelkomen we je om 13.00 uur met traditionele Mongoolse melkthee. Rond 14.00 uur start de eerste workshop, waarin je onder leiding van Batzorig de basis van boventonen en keelzang ontdekt. Na een authentiek Mongools diner volgt in de avond een tweede sessie, waarin je dieper in de technieken duikt. Daarna is er ruimte om te ontspannen, samen muziek te maken of, bij goed weer, te genieten van een kampvuur.

Zondagochtend beginnen we met een Mongools ontbijt, gevolgd door een wandeling op het prachtige landgoed van onze buren. Daarna volgt de derde workshop. Na de lunch sluiten we de middag af met een laatste workshop om alles wat je hebt geleerd samen te brengen en te verdiepen.

Een weekend vol muziek, inspiratie, en de unieke kans om rechtstreeks te leren van Batzorig Vaanchig.
