Fill your lungs and open your hearts! As part of the city-wide Festival of Nature, singer and songwriter, Karine Polwart, leads a joyous, harmony singing workshop in celebration of the greater-than-human world around us. Sing it up for the birds, tall trees, and tiny flowers at this accessible, participative event. No musical or reading experience required. Everything will be taught by ear. Children of 10 years+ welcome with an accompanying adult.

Karine is a multiple winner at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Much of her writing is inspired by the natural world, from peatbogs, and rocky shores, to bird migration and stars. As a member of Spell Songs, she has collaborated with writer, Robert McFarlane and visual artist, Jackie Morris. She is a former Artist in Residence at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
