Join us for our third joint conference day with the British Voice Association at the Gresham Centre in the heart of the City of London, for a day of networking and practical sessions by presenters from all parts of the choral spectrum.
- Jo McNally looks at making the most of limited rehearsal time; discover warm ups and repertoire that can be varied and extended to develop your singers, as well as being used in performance.
- Have you thought about how your performance space and the layout your choir stands in can affect its sound? Professor David Howard is an acknowledged expert on the science of the voice and the acoustical properties of singing, as well as having a rare ability to communicate it in a way that non-scientists can understand!
- Assistant Music Director of The National Youth Choirs of Great Britain, Music Director of London Oriana Choir, Artistic Director of The Fourth Choir and Visiting Lecturer at the University of Oxford, Dominic Ellis-Peckham, is regarded as one of the UK's finest dynamic orchestral and choral conductors of his generation. A conductor of immense energy and focus delivering 'gutsy, raw and exciting performances', Dominic is renowned for his dedication to the Renaissance and Baroque era, whilst also passionate about the delivery of new works and inspirational collaborations.
- Many of us have had numerous experiences learning the art of choral conducting through training, workshops, masterclasses and personal observations from within the choir. But how many of us have had tuition in how to teach choral conducting? abcd Director of Training Amy Bebbington shares her own insights and personal experiences of teaching choral conducting.
- Inspirational Gospel leader Karen Gibson finishes our day with an energetic workshop focussing on creating a real gospel sound - working on rhythm, tone, articulation, blend, energy and movement, all of which can be used for many other forms of contemporary music.
