To celebrate its 4th year of existence, the khöömii course initiated by IIWM and Johanni Curtet is inviting you to Mongolia. A unique opportunity to develop your practice in the land of diphonic singing!
The course begins with two days in an institution in the capital, Ulan Bator, with a master who is emblematic of academic teaching, and continues for a week in the Altai, in one of the regions where khöömii originated, with a holder of the rural tradition. Accompanied by Johanni Curtet, where he has been learning and researching for the past 20 years, this master class will address a number of topics, from the connection with nature and the nomadic lifestyle to urban and contemporary realities.
CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION
This course is reserved for initiates or people who already have a basic knowledge of diphonic vocal technique. This course is not open to beginners or newcomers.
