Linsey Pollak Humarimba workshop
Make music with the playful master
The incomparable Linsey Pollak is well-known around Australia and at international festivals as a musician, instrument maker, composer, musical director and community music facilitator.
In 1988 Linsey invented the “Humarimba” a marimba (or large xylophone) played by three people and suspended from the belts of two of the three players.
Since then the humarimba has become a mainstay of Linsey’s work in Community Music, the highlight being a project in 1995 called “The Big Marimba” where 400 people built 320 metres of marimbas (with 2400 tuned marimba bars) that crossed the Brisbane River attached to the Victoria Bridge as part of the Brisbane Biennial Music Festival. The humarimba is still a vital part of Linsey’s Community Music work.
This workshop is “hands on”, for playing pieces composed by Linsey specifically for the humarimba. Anyone can do this and be playing music within minutes!
