Join All the Whistlers in this interactive session by Aliaskar Abarkas, and guest artist Hyelim Kim to explore a vision of a contemporary sonic myth and compose an anthem for whistling. 

Participate in sonic and somatic activities as we explore the possibilities of developing our musical language. This workshop aims to create new compositions that respond to the architecture and unique characteristics of the Conservatory.

In collaboration with Cubitt, ICA, Sadler’s Wells, Swiss Church, TACO! and The Mosaic Rooms, Aliaskar creates a nomadic space for experimentation and learning. These workshops are designed to explore the social power of collective whistling, fostering community connections and peer building. Each session concludes with a composer responding to the project by creating a song for collective whistling.
