Hyderabad Western Music Foundation is conducting a workshop on community singing. They will explore how different communities have made use of the simple act of singing together to boost their morale, bring each other together, and gain motivation.
HWMF is starting a community singing project with bi-weekly sessions, from January. The motivation behind these sessions of community singing is not singing for a prayer or singing for the country or patriotism - although they might take songs from religious / patriotic repertoire sometimes - but simply to feel each others' energy and understand what it is like to sing with a room full of people.
They will sing songs from different languages each time, from all over the world. The songs will come from a variety of sources such as: sea shanties from sailors, folk songs from folk poets of India, simplified classical songs/poems, and folk poems from around the world. So if you are fond of singing just for the sheer joy of it, this is the place to be.
The session will be conducted by Tejaswinee Kelkar - who is at present doing her MS at IIIT in Hyderabad. She has studied Western Classical as well as Hindustani classical music, and is locally part of the choir group the Deccan Voices.
