Village Harmony is a Vermont-based singing camp in existence since 1991 when Larry Gordon founded the camp
and hired Mary Cay to teach music from the Balkans
to teens. The camp was such a success that it has grown
into multiple sessions of teen camps per summer, camps for
adults and camps in many foreign countries such as England, South Africa, Ghana, Corsica, Bulgaria and the Republic of Georgia. Mary Cay organized and led the first Village Harmony Bosnia camps in 2006 and 2008. 25 singers from the US, Canada, the UK and Switzerland
gathered together to learn music from Bosnia's rich village traditions, sacred repertoire from all of Bosnia's spiritual
traditions and urban muslim love songs. Village Harmony camps are powerful, sometimes, life-changing experiences
that draw hundreds of singers every summer together in song.
As one Bosnia camper put it:
"Village Harmony camp in Bosnia was an experience that opened up my heart and mind in so many ways. Inspiring, dynamic leaders not only taught us a variety of Bosnian music, but about that music, and we had the opportunity to meet Bosnians who sang and loved the music we were learning. Bosnia is a beautiful, ancient country whose citizens continue to work on healing and reconciliation, and music is part of that healing. My Bosnian experience and learning was joyful, rich, unexpected and inspiring!"
