The Culomba PolyphonyFest is a four-day celebration of harmony singing traditions from around the world. On Friday and Saturday, we will lead a workshop exploring these singing styles, open to singers of all ages and levels, in a supportive environment with experienced teachers. We will provide sheet music for certain pieces but also teach everything by ear, so singers are welcome whether they can read music or not. Each voice part will be led by a Culomba singer, which will accelerate the learning process and let participants experience rich harmony singing quickly. The weekend will conclude with a concert Sunday afternoon featuring the festival participants. Part of Culomba’s mission is to broaden listeners’ cultural horizons, and our workshops consistently engage and inspire listeners with songs from around the world. Join us for this powerful communal singing experience.

Culomba is a vocal sextet specializing in close harmony singing from many different global styles, including American folk traditions, music from Georgia, Corsica, and the Balkans, renaissance polyphony, and original compositions. For ten years, Culomba’s singers have toured together internationally, studied with masters of traditional music across Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean, and provided engaging educational experiences to high school, college, and community choirs. We are excited to celebrate our ten-year anniversary with a participatory singing weekend close to home.
