Great choirs sing with flawless and seemingly effortless technical skills. Fine intonation, rhythmic accuracy and phrasing, resonance, balance, dynamic sensitivity and tone quality underpin great performances. But audiences want to be moved by what they hear; they love to see performers emotionally invested and perform with a genuine and authentic connection. They may forgive a wrong note, but never a lack of energy, passion and commitment. In this workshop we explore how to elevate choral performances and make them compelling for audiences and competition juries alike!
