Baluji Music Foundation and Eye Matter are pleased to announce a new series of free online singing workshops for blind and partially sighted people featuring the wonderful Linn Davies from the Inner Vision Orchestra, culminating in a performance with the orchestra. These workshops have been made possible by funding from the National Lottery Community Fund and we are immensely grateful to them and all the players!

Come and join Linn! Mondays at 7pm.  21st November, 28th November, 5th December, 12th December. Please email us at baluji@baluji.com to receive information and join.  Our last series of singing workshops ended with a recent performance in Waterloo in front of a packed audience on the 29th October 2023! Here are some clips from the performance which was amazing - where linn and the Eye Matter singers were accompanied by Fiona Dunn on piano as well as voluntary contributions from IVO musicians Baluji and Takashi Kikuchi: https://youtu.be/VibxF6OAUVw and https://youtu.be/BzqF1O07a7M. Thanks to the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers for their brilliant support for this event. 

Some recent feedback

“It certainly dragged me out of my comfort zone as far as singing is concerned and I ended up feeling confident enough to take part !”

“I make no claims as to my singing, but I enjoy doing it and more would be better!" “Singing gives a lift and good for the mind and soul.”

“Such a new, lovely experience!”

Voice warm-up games, singing, call and response and singing familiar songs together, or maybe even individually! You definitely don’t need to be a professional singer, just someone who enjoys singing.

We’re looking forward to having you!
