workshop with Israeli vocalist Sivan Arbel.

"Sivan Arbel" is an Israeli vocalist, band leader, composer and arranger, based in Brooklyn, NY. "Sivan" is distinguished by an infectious jazz-fusion style and a vibrant and powerful live performance.

Born with a deep passion for music and dance, the "Sivan" style is a fresh mix that harmoniously blends its Israeli-Mediterranean-Middle Eastern roots with international rhythmic influences, a refined jazz language of author with arrangements and scat improvisations, in English and Hebrew, all seasoned with rhythmic grooves that accompany his dance movements on stage; each of his live performances pushes the audience to dance and have fun, from the smallest clubs to festivals around the world, overcoming language barriers and cultural boundaries, thanks to an atmosphere that combines music, movement, dance, pleasure and fun.

During the master class Sivan will deepen the following topics:

• The full perception of odd times
• How to interpret a song with your own personal style
• How to combine different musical influences in an original composition

This will be followed by a live performance by Sivan.
