Présentation
In these workshops, Sofia Ribeiro invites participants to explore the infinite magic of creating music on the spot. All levels are welcome, and everyone is encouraged to connect with their playfulness, creativity, and musical intuition. In addition to her exceptional musical skill and talent, she knows how to create a relaxed atmosphere where everyone feels safe and confident, allowing participants to experience singing and improvising as a way to communicate and express themselves authentically, using their voice not only as a musical instrument, but also as a tool for self-discovery.
Vocal improvisation has played a very important role in Sofia’s life and in her work as a singer and composer. While teaching, performing, and improvising, she explores the endless potential of improvisation as a way to transform oneself — a journey toward presence, genuineness, and deep connection with others. With extensive experience working with improvisation across a wide spectrum of styles and musical contexts, Sofia is part of the faculty of the annual Vocal Improvisation course Circlesongs, led by the legendary Bobby McFerrin, and she has been conducting vocal improvisation workshops and Circle Singing sessions worldwide for almost two decades.
