Beyond his stunning vocal range, Sörne is known for his hypnotic creations, deeply textured vocal collages punctuated with primitive urgency, and an emotional wisdom that seems otherworldly.

THE VOCAL WORKSHOPS
Pre-Concert Workshop // Saturday 4/4 1pm-3pm
Post-Concert Workshop // Sunday 4/5 1pm-3pm
Morgan Sorne guides fellow singers through a series of basic vocal exercises with the intention of opening the heart and mind, breaking through inhibitions and mental barriers, allowing for the exploration of the voice.
SORNE uses harmonies from his music so that attendees can sing along during his performances if they so choose.
First Hour
-Begins with breathing techniques, conditioning body for vocalizing effectively
-Warm up exercises to open the vocal cords, extend range and prevent damage to larynx
-Melodic scales are used to familiarize vocalists with personal range of voice
-Learning of intervals between notes, improving awareness of pitch and melodic relationships
Second Hour
-Harmonization between sections of the group where each section is given a part
-Cultivation of emotional symbolism, triggers and resources within the emotional landscape to promote authentic singing
-Group harmonization where each attendee can sing out what they hear and feel with the vocal support of the group singing a harmonic motif together.
"By reclaiming the power of one's voice, I believe that we can become stronger. more confident, fully realized people, and in turn, inspire and empower others." - SORNE
Sörne blends world and acoustic sounds with electronics, melodies, rhythms, soaring vocals, harmonies, and the quiet spaces in between. The music flows as a guided meditation, connecting inner visions with waking wonder in a safe, trusted space.
Spontaneously created in the moment, the experience is shaped by the people and energy present, making this event truly unique. We can’t wait to share this magical journey with you.
THE IMMERSIVE CONCERT EXPERIENCE
Saturday 4/4, 8pm-11pm
In performing art centers across the country, Morgan Sörne presents an immersive concert experience beginning by presenting his pre-developed vocal performance, inspiring a sense of awe in the attendees.
The experience is an enveloping into Morgans creation - and it is unique and different each time. This is what makes these concert experiences feel special or extraordinary—the fact that they cannot be replicated.. Within the unique structure of theYURT, we have the opportunity to experience a theatre in the round, inviting harmonic exploration by the attendees, or simply witnessing and taking in the experience from the perimiter.
The final act of the experience can showcase an acappella “vocal sound sculpture” being created by everyone, unique and profoundly moving for each concert.
The effect for an audience is profound and transformative. Attendees leave inspired, electrified with awe at not only what they experienced, but what they have contributed to that experience. We are truly creating art together.
