Greetings from the Mediterranean

In the atelier, we will be feasting on traditional and original songs from the various Mediterranean countries. The pieces will be passionate and joyous as well as spiritual, just as their diversity reflects the daily lives of people who have not yet forgotten to celebrate life in fullness. We will sing and dance, and journey through music so as to touch upon the faraway lands.
