Voice-works Summer Study Weekend for solo classical singers
The last of the four seasonal Voice-works Study Weekends offered to solo singers during this academic year, will happen next month, in June. Application deadline: midnight on Friday 13 May. A rather swift turnaround this time 🙂 ... but! It will be worth it!
These events are great fun and truly deliver on all promises.
Let me start by saying that I am very grateful for the opportunity to participate online, and I have got very used to it and the use of the technology. It has been an amazing way of attending workshops through lockdown, restrictions on travel and family difficulties. I would recommend it to anyone who feels they wish to attend a workshop, but cannot do it in person, for whatever reason. I cannot pretend the experience is the same as in person, but the current use of technology and organisation certainly helps produce an inclusive atmosphere. Sue Lewey, soprano
Everyone comes to the weekend bringing something in terms of enthusiasm, knowledge, experience, emerging vocal skills and a willingness to share; which in turn feeds the system and creates a wonderful ‘well-being’ synergy of experience. The true heart of the group ecosystem is the people - the singers - each with a desire to share and absorb, wherever they are in their learning experience.
The weekend brings home to me that, when learning songs, I might need to identify more clearly the demands of each piece in terms of joining up the musicianship patterns, the words, and how I feel about the song, with a view of bringing more stability in performance so that I can dare even more! It's an exciting whole new learning curve ahead! Sophie Bierens de Haan, mezzosoprano
Study Weekend places are always limited to a maximum of 6 (4 residential, 2 virtual) participating singers to ensure enough singing and performance opportunity is given to each participant.
The application and booking links for the Summer Study Weekend are still LIVE until Friday 13 May. You can add your details, make your payment and claim your actual/virtual place. We will give you a very warm welcome to Church Farmhouse, actually and virtually!
