Le Capriccio Français Summer Music Academy offers workshops for Singers, choir conductors, harpsichordists, as well as a Choral program, from August 21 (arrival before dinner) to August 28
Vocal Academy
The singers choose between two workshops :
With Marteen Koningsberger the singers focus their work on soloist repertoire, performance, as well as collegial practice. Technical work will concentrate on posture, breathing, phonation and voice consistency, so that students may develop their instrument. Students will study how a successful performance also requires expression and interpretation of a piece. Every day starts with a class in posture and breathing. Every student receives a daily private lesson in vocal technique with Marteen Koningsberger.
Students works with Helene Dufour and Stefano Intrieri, either individually or in small groups.
Choral Academy
The choir is conducted by Philippe Le Fèvre, artistic director of the Music Academy, and Adam Vidovic. All choral singers take part in a daily class of vocal technique with Muriel Ferraro.
