Class 1
Sunday, November 17, 2pm–4pm
Part I (open to all)
with Kate Conklin

We will learn tone production, odd meters, ornamentation and songs from the stunning Bulgarian polyphonic tradition. No previous experience necessary, though the ability to match pitch is highly recommended.
Class 2
Sunday, November 17, 4:15pm–5:30pm
Part II (advanced techniques)
with Kate Conklin

Open to anyone with experience singing Bulgarian music solo or in a group (including those who just took Part I of this class). We will learn more intricate ornamentation, explore regional styles and refine singing techniques. Participants are invited and encouraged to bring something to sing solo or with a group.

Since our storefront is currently a cave, this workshop will be held in a lovely home in Silver Lake that’s less than two miles away from Machine. Once you’ve registered for the class, we’ll send you an email with the exact location.
