Life in SAMYO

• SABRANG Youth Choir
• Residentials
• Reunions
• Rehearsals
• Learning & Development

As a member of Samyo / Sabrang, you’ll meet several times a year for music ‘retreats’ which can either be over a weekend or a longer stretch during the summer (5-7 days). These retreats will include elements of the following:

• Orchestra workshops – Indian classical music is traditionally played as a soloist or in smaller duos or trios.  In these workshops, you’ll learn the unique set of skills and techniques you need to play as part of a larger team of musicians.   
• Bootcamp – refine and upgrade your skills in your own instrument or voice with intense ‘bootcamp’ sessions where you’ll work one-to-one with world class musicians.
• Learn unique and original repertoire which has been written and composed especially for Samyo
