One of the most energetic and beloved workshop leaders ever to come to Brunswick, Ysaye will envelop you in the joy of community through the music of the African-American vocal tradition, including calls and chants, spirituals, ring shouts, hymns, gospels, songs of the Civil Rights Movement, and songs of contemporary struggle. Mostly you'll sing, but she also will bring her deep knowledge of the African-American tradition to discussions about the songs historical, social, and political contexts. She will introduce you to the values embedded in the music, the role of cultural and spiritual traditions and rituals, ways in which leadership emerges and can be shared, and the nature of cultural response to political struggle.
No prior musical experience is necessary; the only requirements are a willingness to sing as fully as you can and to embrace joy.

She is a composer commissioned to create music for dance, choral groups, film, and stage productions. A number of her songs have been recorded by Sweet Honey. Barnwell holds a PhD in speech pathology, a post doctoral M.S. in Public Health, and three honorary doctorates, has conducted her inspiring music workshops on three continents.
