MIT DEN HÄNDEN SINGEN

In the organizer's words:

Ensemble SING&SIGN:
Andrea Schmetzstorff, sign language
Susanne Haupt, artistic director
Diogo Mendes, piano

Sign language choir workshop for hearing and non-hearing people interested in music

This workshop teaches the diversity of communication styles in the sign language community. The inclusive ensemble SING&SIGN combines musical practice and sign language. Using their own specially developed method, they work with signs that not only translate the text of the works, but also reflect the musical character. After getting to know each other, the ensemble's founder Susanne Haupt and her deaf-blind colleague Andrea Schmetzstorff will provide insights into deaf culture and their inclusive work in the field of sacred vocal music. In the second part, some Bach chorales will be rehearsed together. Diogo Mendes, musical director of the ensemble, will accompany the chorales on the piano.

The workshop is aimed at hearing-impaired and hearing people.

Duration: 90 minutes
