Internationally acclaimed fusion ensemble Shiva Nova return to Dorchester this week for a series of workshops in schools and concert at the Corn Exchange on June 24.
“It’s seven years since we Shiva Nova appeared in Dorchester Festival – and we delighted to be welcoming them back,” said Artistic Director Sharon Hayden.
This time these talented musicians will be in residence for three days working with Year 8 students in Dorchester’s Middle Schools. Over a hundred children will take part in workshops in Indian percussion, African drumming and Indian vocal harmonies.
“We are really pleased to have received funding from West Dorset District Council to support this work. It’s a fantastic opportunity for our school students to work directly with these leading musicians from India, Africa and Europe.”
Following the workshops some twenty-five students will be performing with Shiva Nova in a programme full of energy and spontaneity at Dorchester’s Corn Exchange at 8pm on Friday 24 June.
