Song of the Valley – A Music Workshop
Come together to create a brand-new musical performance! In this workshop, we’ll transform words into rhythm, melody, and harmony, bringing to life a dramatic story of water shaping our valley and the lives of everyone who calls it home.
We’ll sing, we’ll play, and we’ll explore the power of music to tell our story in a way that’s uniquely our own. If you play an instrument, bring it along, but no skills or experience are needed – just bring your enthusiasm and a desire to create music!
This music workshop for everyone is led by Daniel Bath (Music for The Many). There will be a chance to perform the finished piece at a showcase event on 1 March.
For all ages 7+, children to be accompanied by adults.
