This workshop explores how choral artists in America today are inspired by, and how they are inspiring, diverse and open exchange, creating cultural bridges with the world. Lyyra, the new all-female American ensemble of the Voces8 Foundation, share their reflections on their repertoire and educational vision: their unique sound, collaborations with diverse composers, and work with students from varied backgrounds. Joined by Paul Smith, co-founder and CEO of the Voces8 Foundation, they will also present an innovative partnership linking students in London and New Mexico. This session also contains some practical exercises for the participants to join.
Participants are encouraged to participate in both the workshop and the concert to get the most out of the experience: “Rising” 1 October, 6.30 pm at Kupfersaal. More information
