Special Workshops with Moira Smiley
I am thrilled to be hosting Moira Smiley in Duncan and Victoria to have her share her voice, creative magic and power in her workshops and concerts. If you know who she is I am sure you are already smiling. ! If you don’t know of her yet — check out her website and take a little tour of her creative offerings – she is a real Gem!. Moira is a creative spirt of grace and has a generosity in her music that is inspirational. I have been a fan for over ten years and it makes me giddy with excitement that she is coming our way to share her gifts of singing, composition, choir arrangements, body percussion, and choral community magic with us all. – Cari, Artistic Director, Lila Music Centre

The Voice Is A Traveler, Singer / Composer, Moira Smiley weaves her banjo, accordion and piano around her magnificent voice. Singing and storytelling through her own timeless, original songs and traditional folk songs, we travel through songs of home and exile; longing and belonging. Themes of real and metaphorical border-crossings are seen through Anglo-Celtic ballads, American spirituals, European folk laments and sharp, poignant original songs. Expect to be welcomed to sing or hum a few times with Moira as she inspires any room – anywhere – to sing

Moira WILD WILD VOICE workshop – DUNCAN
Wednesday Feb 26th, 6 – 8:30pm –
Lila Music Centre, 3228A Gibbins Rd, Duncan
$30- $35 /person Suggested https://www.facebook.com/events/490678034920552/
All voices Welcome !
The human voice has astonishing range and color, and – as with our lungs & brains – we may not use it to its full glory! This fast-paced, fun workshop playfully explodes your assumptions about your own voice. You’ll sing extraordinary parts of unusual traditional songs. Eastern European and Appalachian songs will root you, while call & response, vocal improvising and movement will keep you discovering ever more inventive parts of you. Moira playfully draws out techniques, timbres and styles you always knew were in you as a singer or writer, but maybe hadn’t felt you could bring out! Expect group and individual (optional) singing and sound-making.
