Vocal Academy

Supervised by Nigel Cliffe or Muriel Ferraro, this singing workshop combines vocal technique and interpretation of baroque music.

After a group lesson on posture and breathing, which opens the day, each student will receive individual vocal technique lessons with Nigel Cliffe or Muriel Ferraro, and will work with their vocal coaches, Hélène Dufour and Stefano Intrieri on solo and chamber music repertoire.

Alongside the repertoire that each singer will bring, the students will work on a signle theme : the Brockes Passion. Through versions by Handel, Telemann and Keiser, we’ll delve into one of the moste popular texts set to music in the 18th century.

 

Choral Academy

In parallel to their rehearsals, the choristers  benefit from daily vocal technique classes with Muriel Ferraro or Nigel Cliffe.

Workshop for lyric coach

This course is intended for harpsichordists, organists or pianists wishing to perfect their skills as vocal conductors in the early repertoires. The work will include a theoretical part (scoring, knowledge of the different styles of realisation) and above all practical work in close connection with the singing master class, the choir course and the chamber music activities.
