Choral Workshop

Heather Buchanan is an internationally renowned choral conductor and educator.  Working with her for an afternoon on two great pieces of choral music is a unique opportunity for experienced singers to extend their practice.  Heather will provide you with:

• The experience and process of rehearsing at a high level as singers, and as conductors
• The experience of producing a high performance standard of music within the available time
• A sense of accomplishment
• The opportunity to pass on some new repertoire to your choirs

This link is an interview with Heather about what she expects conductors and singers to take from working with her in rehearsal mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-7WkcBgvcw&list=PLDj4mBgPwrkNi-ZxOneohSnu34npwgjw8&index=7

The repertoire choices (sample YouTube videos attached) are:

1. Forrest – Good Night, Dear Heart. See an example:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBUAXyjlIsQ&ab_channel=modfestivalsMarktoberdorf
2. Hampton – Praise His Holy Name. See as an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxw0l2kTyR0&ab_channel=TheConcordiaChoir

Make your bookings on Trybooking and ANCA will send you a PDF of the sheet music within a couple of days by email.  We will email you a link to the practice tracks at the same time. A working familiarity with the arrangements prior to the workshop is required.
