- Collective voices and choral singing

Module 5 with Marion Evers & Martin van Emmichoven

Discover your own voice in a variety of choral contexts - from chants to polyphonic singing. We look forward to hear your voice!

In collective singing, we experience in particular the emergence of a musical group body - a physical and musical pleasure that also supports and promotes your own voice. We try our hand at free voice improvisation in the group as well as in more structured musical scores & settings such as circle songs, polyphonic song structures and choral singing.
