Genesis Sixteen |
The
Sixteen’s exciting new choral training scheme ‘Genesis Sixteen’
gives promising young singers aged between 18-23 the opportunity to
receive free comprehensive training in the fundamentals of consort singing.
The scheme involves four free residential courses a
year, with a bursary for UK travel, food and accommodation. Genesis
Sixteen will train its singers not only to fulfil all the basic principles
of choral and consort singing (e.g. blend, ensemble and tuning) but also to make
them aware of listening to and communicating with each other; to introduce them
to a variety of styles and periods of music and work on them in a comprehensive
and detailed manner. You can find a more detailed description and audition

International
Oratorio Choir - Workshop 16-21 October 2012, Riva del Garda (Italy) - Stabat
Mater (G. Rossini)
Gioacchino Rossini’s Stabat Mater is the central piece of church music written
by this Italian opera composer. It is based on a mediaeval poem called Stabat
Mater Dolorosa. Following Italian traditions of church music, Rossini divided
the mediaeval sequence in Stabat Mater into clearly separated solo and ensemble
movements. The care with which he undertook this task is reflected in the fact
that he used no material from earlier works whatsoever. Stabat Mater contains
both operatic elements and features of church music: lively melodic patterns and
dynamic rhythms can be found alongside contrapuntal sections composed in the old
style.
The rehearsals will be held on Lake Garda in Italy the International Oratorio
Choir will be using the rehearsal rooms. The lake presents a wonderful spectacle
of natural luminescence and colours, so that it is a unique holiday resort at
any time of the year. The lakeside towns and villages with their architecture
and imposing palazzi are a fascinating feature of this area. This enchanting
environment will provide dedicated singers with a superb opportunity for an
unforgettable musical event.
The final concert
will be held at the Concert Hall in Riva del Garda (Italy) on 20 October 2012 at
20:00 hrs More information about this project:

London
Community Gospel Workshop Choir
This is a community workshop choir that
meets once a week for anyone who would like to learn to sing in a gospel style.
Gospel music is undoubtedly spiritual in nature and requires expression of
feeling, using body, mind and spirit. We believe it is something that everyone
can share in regardless of race, beliefs and abilities. Participants will learn
gospel singing as an art-form and improve their proficiency in singing. The most
important requirement on this course is the desire to learn, bags of enthusiasm
and the willingness to experiment and conquer inhibitions. The course will run
for 8 weeks and includes a public performance at the end....more |
