Xenia Horne starts work at the primary school on the 14th January 2010 running a series
of singing workshops part of the Heart of the World singing project organised by
Cambs County Council.
She has funding to offer workshops to community groups too and
would be delighted if anyone in the village who might be interested to get in touch with her. Currently she will be working on Thursday mornings in January and Feb plus some Friday afternoons so could offer Friday lunch times or mornings as well as potentially times earlier in the week. The aim of the project is to enjoy singing, whether young or old, experienced or complete beginner. We will be creating some new songs, looking at some traditional songs and songs from around the world. Xenia Horne plays the Celtic and Concert harp and would be happy to bring those to sessions.
The Brandon photograph below is a photo from the end of project performance where Xenia worked with a primary school on songs from around the world (Year 1 African song). The other photograph is Xenia playing at a wedding. Xenia would be very happy to do one off workshops which could be anything from a sing along to folk songs to show songs ! Xenia has a keyboard as well as the harps so she can be very versatile.
