WORKSHOPS

Members of Zambra are available for world song workshops with groups of female singers. Join us as we explore sublime melodic lines, lush harmonies, compelling rhythms, and the timeless pull and power of women's voices!

Participants should be able to match pitch and hold their own part against another harmony line. Ability to read music is helpful but not required.

If you belong to a women's choir or group of friends who love to sing inspiring, joyous, eclectic music, please contact us for more information.
