I Speak Music A project transforming our speaking voice into a wide spectrum of music

we are kicking off our first event of the project by sharing with you what has been done in the past with speaking voice(s), together with some new commissions (written especially for this program!) challenging what other potential paths we could take on using this particular vocal type.
