Saraswati (Marion Zammarchi) is an art therapist whose creative approach to healing and empowered expression through voice, song, and sacred language— with an emphasis on Sanskrit—is unique in the Western world today. Originally trained in classical violin, Marion’s traditional background has evolved into free improvisation that yields a deeply evocative and powerful performance repertoire.
She studied song, ritual, and sacred chants with song master Borys Cholewka—including the sacred songs of India, Siberia, Russia, Georgia, Ukraine, Native Indian of the Americas, as well as the songs of Eastern Christianity—and the the dhrupad songs of India with Ustad Sayeeduddin Dagar of Paris. She currently practices, sings, and resides in Lyon, France.
