EXCLUSIVE WORKSHOP – 50th Anniversary Celebration Tour – Kahil El’Zabar’s Ethnic Heritage Ensemble - Workshops and courses

EHE Infinity Music Workshop with Kahil El’Zabar Following his exclusive concert in Neuchâtel, the legendary Kahil El’Zabar’s Ethnic Heritage Ensemble (Chicago, US) invites you to take part in a rare and powerful musical experience: an intensive workshop hosted at EMOH LEEF. A percussionist, composer, poet and educator, Kahil El’Zabar is a leading figure in Afrocentric spiritual jazz, having collaborated with iconic artists such as Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Nina Simone, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp and David Murray. A workshop like no other The Infinity Music Workshop, developed with the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, goes far beyond the format of a traditional masterclass. It offers a deep immersion into music as a living, collective practice, rooted in rhythm, listening and human connection. The workshop is structured around three core sessions: • Masterclass focused on rhythm, active listening and ensemble playing • Guided group work with creative exercises, instructions and improvisation • Open JAM session inviting full participation, with crowd Inspired by methods such as Soundpainting, a real-time composing language developed by Walter Thompson, the workshop encourages instant creativity, musical responsiveness and interdisciplinary dialogue. It invites musicians, singers, dancers and performers to engage in collective creation through directed improvisation. Who is it for? This workshop is open to anyone with an interest in music, with no skill level required. Whether you are a musician, vocalist, percussionist or simply curious to explore a new way of experiencing music, you are warmly welcome. Please bring your own instrument. No technical background needed. Just the desire to be present, to listen, to feel and to connect. A meaningful transmission The Infinity Music Workshop offers an approach that is both rigorous and profoundly human. Through an intuitive and embodied pedagogy that blends spirituality, musical precision and personal expression, participants gain tools to enhance their confidence, their listening skills and their freedom as artists. This shared moment of creation extends well beyond technical learning, offering a space for transformation and meaningful encounter. Solidarity pricing and registration In order to keep this experience accessible while respecting the value of the work involved, a solidarity-based pricing system is in place.
