At the Choralies, you’re the stars! Join over forty ephemeral choirs that bring together people with a passion for music and a curiosity for discovery.
Come and take part in one or more ateliers led by conductors specially chosen for their musical and teaching skills. Whatever your choral singing experience, whatever your age, whatever your style preferences, there’s something for you.
We offer 5 types of atelier: for all levels (easy, intermediate, advanced) and with or without prior preparation
Several combinations are possible (Short atelier+ Technique atelier or Discovery atelier + Short atelier…) The Choralies adapt to your desires!
Ateliers are divided into three categories:
Some ateliers require advance preparation. This may involve reading scores, working on audio files, etc. The aim is to enable participants to work efficiently throughout the duration of the atelier, for the enjoyment of all involved.
