D331: Folk Songs of the World

Cappella Nova Outreach, **NEW for Academic Year 2024-2025**

Everyone loves a traditional song and this living, growing repertoire with timeless and universal themes keeps evolving.  These songs come from an oral tradition and need no musical expertise to enjoy.  Their inclusiveness, storytelling, and history as a true ‘people's music’ adds to their attraction.  Participants will develop an understanding of performance, listen to recordings and, above all, enjoy the experience of singing together. No music-reading ability is required but the willingness to have a go is!

Please note there is no class meeting on Wednesday 4 June.

Cappella Nova

Through the delivery of singing workshops and classes, Cappella Nova Outreach is becoming increasingly familiar to those who simply want to enjoy the experience of group-singing and to develop their skills from complete beginners upwards.  Having established an international reputation through performance, recording and touring of a vast range of vocal music, members of the award winning Scottish professional vocal ensemble Cappella Nova offer a wide range of training opportunities accessible to all.  For automatic updates, visit and register at www.cappella-nova.com and for further enquiries contact cappella.nova@strath.ac.uk

We are delighted to be able to continue our collaboration this year by offering more unique opportunities for adults to engage with a broad range of new and well-loved musical experiences.  These classes are open to adults of all ages.
