innovation of choral singing, a first-time major cooperation between

creation of innovative repertoire, promote the voice as universal instrument, improve the quality of vocal music, enable transnational mobility
and circulation of (young) musicians and choral works, enhance the
dialogue between cultures and generations as well as the exchange of
expertise and develop new tools for the promotion of singing in music
education. VOICE invests in research on the voice in partnership with
universities and collect data on choral life in Europe. The 14 partners will
spread the results to develop a new vision on choral singing in Europe.
Activities of VOICE from 2012 to 2015 through which these aims shall
be reached include a major choral festival in Italy, an urban youth choir
festival in Sweden, singing as a tool for reconciliation in Cyprus, two sessions of the Eurochoir for young singers in Czech Republic and Hungary,

world of education in Belgium, research programmes on the growth of
young people in relation to their singing voice and on vocal health of
amateur singers, done from Belgium and United Kingdom, an international collection of lullabies and databases on choral life, voice-training
and conductors’ training in Europe.

The international masterclass for choral conductor in Vaison-la-Romaine
is a project offering young musicians the possibility to be exposed to
the teaching of a world reknown professor in the situation of work with
a world class clinic choir. Students will have the possibility to assist to
the festival concerts. The teaching time will include technique lesson,
repertoire discovery, esthetics exchanges and discussions, practical work
in rehearsal, methodology of the rehearsal and the performance, singing
techniques in intercultural projects.
Programme: Frieder Bernius, Germany
The main characteristic of Frieder Bernius’ career has been his perpetual
search for new scores, the practice of questioning traditional interpretations of European music and the fact of creating an unmistakable individual sound. Since he was convinced he could only successfully achieve his
aims with his own ensembles, the organisation “Musikpodium Stuttgart”
was formed under which Bernius’ activities were combined.
Choir in residence: Kammerchor Stuttgart
Thirty of more than 80 CD recordings of the Kammerchor Stuttgart have
received international record awards such as: ‘Choc du Monde de la
musique’ and the ‘Edison Klassiek’ for his Schuetz and Bach recordings,
the ‘Diapason d’Or de l’année’ for Mozart’s Requiem and many ‘Quarterly
Awards of the German Record Critics’ for a capella recordings. Serving as
cultural ambassador for the Cultural Relations of Baden-Wuerttemberg,
Bernius and his choir are constantly in touch with ensembles in the whole
world.
Participation fees:
Singers and passive participation for conductors: 130€ less

Aim Group:
Choral conductors, music pedagogues, conducting teachers, music
teacher training institutions, researchers of music education
As a follow-up of conferences on singing and music education (e.g. “The
Glee of Centuries” in Vilnius 2009 and several workshops and conferences on music education organised by the European Music Council
and some of its members), the Symposium shall focus on different music
education approaches that involve singing, including a strong focus
on how the Kodály concept can still be used despite the fact that basic
conditions have changed. The Symposium will gather music pedagogues, professors of teacher training institutions, conductors, choirs,
vocal ensembles and singers from Europe and all over the world who
can present and demonstrate how they use various music education
methods, including the Kodály concept.
Based on direct invitations and open calls both for papers and good
practices, around 15-20 lecturers and presenters, 8-10 choirs and/or vocal ensembles shall be selected for lectures, demonstrations and round
table discussions. The Symposium’s programme will be arranged around
the following main themes:
1. Formal singing-based music education at school
(regular schools and music schools)
2. Non-formal music learning opportunities outside school
3. Benefits of singing in communities our society
4. Music teacher and/or choral conductor’s training?
One of the event’s focus points is how singing in communities can shape
individuals and develop our society nowadays. The Symposium aims for
concluding its sessions with a declaration on the impact and benefits of
singing in communities on our society.

PÉCS for choirs and singers, composers,
conductors and managers
EUROPA CANTAT is the flagship event of the European Choral Association – Europa Cantat organised every three years in a different country.
In 2015 the festival will be hosted by Pécs in Hungary, which already
hosted the 1988 edition. The festival offers a rich programme for all
types and levels of choirs, vocal ensembles, individual singers, conductors, composers and choral managers, from Europe and other parts of
the world.

There will be about 40-50 4 to 8-day-workshops for choirs and singers,
daily discovery ateliers, a programme of lectures and workshops for
conductors and composers, moreover a youth event management
training programme. The daily Open Singing brings together every
evening participants of the festival and inhabitants of Pécs.
We are planning a rich accompanying concert programme with repertoire from all corners of Europe and beyond, presenting exemplary
choirs, vocal and instrumental groups, the participating choirs and
music groups from the region. Participants will also have the opportunity to discover the beauties of the city and the countryside, and to
have fun with each other.
The main theme for the festival will be „Crossroads“, symbolising
Europe as a melting pot of different kinds of cultures and nations. What
makes us strong is our diversity and our great culture - our history is
our special capital. What we want to see, to show and to experience
at the EUROPA CANTAT XIX Pécs festival is the crossing of different
religions, cultures, countries and of course music styles – without losing
their originality!
Further themes will be “Roots & Fruits”(dealing with traditions and
innovation, linking past, present and the future) and “Open Gates” (linking the festival to the neighboring countries, to other art forms and to
new ideas). The festival also wants to open “mental gates”, convincing
people that choral music is fresh, young and essential for our society!
The detailed programme will be presented in spring 2014.
