Monday, April 1, 3pm workshop/ 7pm concert
Be The Light Vocal Workshop & Concert with Lea Morris
Join internationally celebrated “SoulFolk” singer-songwriter and choral composer Lea Morris, on her interactive “Be The Light” tour! With Baltimore gospel roots, she is visiting all the way from Germany, sharing her uplifting songs. Come to the workshop, concert, or both!
The event starts at 3pm with a fun and accessible vocal workshop, where all voices, regardless of singing experience, are invited to experience Lea’s harmonic and polyrhythmic, multilayered songs in celebration of the beautiful contrast of dark and light. Songs are taught by ear and heart (no need to read sheet music). Best of all, workshop participants are invited to perform two songs with Lea in the concert!
The 7pm concert will feature Lea’s powerful vocals and dynamic guitar work, seamlessly blending gospel, jazz, country and R&B, in her unique versions of original, contemporary, and traditional songs. With her insightful lyrics and familiar melodies, Lea’s sound is often compared with Joni Mitchell and Ani Difranco. However, with compositions incorporating vocal percussion, looped harmonies, and other elements, her SoulFolk style is unique.
Lea is presented by Nanaimo-based songleader Sylvia Humble, and Victoria’s own Gettin’ Higher Choir!

Walk-ins are welcome while capacity allows.
