Study Tour | for choral conductors

This atelier is ideal for choir directors, teachers and students who want to make the most of the Choralies by learning through observation, practice and discussion. Each day, you’ll examine scores, analyse their challenges, watch conductors lead ateliers and join in post-visit discussions. This approach will introduce you to new repertoires and fresh ways of working.
After selected concerts, you’ll dive into discussions about different aspects of choir direction, like conducting styles, interpretation choices, repertoire and staging. This atelier is led by seasoned conducting teachers who know the realities of working with amateur and professional choirs. Expect days filled with valuable experiences, lively discussions and unique opportunities for connection.
