Lend your voice to a cutting-edge performance installation, celebrating myth, ritual and journeying.
The choral music is devised specifically for singers and choirs by composer/arranger, Sam Glazer, and draws inspiration from Faure, Rilke and Ovid as well as beautiful new music specially written for the project.
Singers from all walks of life and levels of musical experience are invited to take part in this event, either independently, as part of a small group or bring your whole choir along!
The music will be learned independently over 5 months (from January – May) and supported by regular rehearsals. You will need to be available for the majority of the rehearsals and all of the performance dates (details below).
All participating singers will have access to rehearsal materials, which contains the score and audio files to support your learning. You do not need to be able to sight-sing or read music to take part, as all the music will be taught aurally at the rehearsals. You do need access to a computer and the internet. The rehearsals will be led by Kirsty Martin, who is Musical Director of Brighton’s Hullabaloo Quire.
The event is completely free to participate in, but you must commit to the project, be available for the majority of the rehearsals and all of the performance dates.
