Le Capriccio Français Summer Music Academy offers workshops for Singers, harpsichordists, as well as a Choral program
From August 19 (arrival tuesday 20) to August 25, 2026 (departure wednesday 26)
Vocal Academy
Supervised by Maarten Koningsberger 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 Maarten Koningsberger or Muriel Ferraro, and will work with their vocal coaches, Hélène Dufour and Stefano Intrieri on solo and chamber music repertoire.
Choral Academy
The Summer 2026 Choral Workshop is directed by Philippe Le Fèvre, artistic director of the Summer Academy. The choir has a maximum of 28 singers, with a balance of sections. It is intended for experienced choristers.
In parallel to their rehearsals, the choristers benefit from daily vocal technique classes with Muriel Ferraro or Maarten Koningsberger.
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.
Concerts
As every year, the 2026 Capriccio Français Summer Academy will conclude with a concert at the Església de l’Esperança (Barcelona) on Tuesday, 25 August at 8:00p.m.
This concert will be repeated in Paris in September for those participants who wish to take part.
