Kostnaden blir maks 2 900 kr pr barn (samme pris for foresatte).

Opplegg

Europa Cantat Jr. arrangerer et eget guttekor-spor som blir spesielt tilrettelagt for blant annet oss.

Opplegget består av tre instruksjonsdager og en avslutningskonsert i en av de flotte kirkene i Vilnius. Arrangøren beskriver opplegget som:

This atelier is specially designed for boys! Singers will perform music perfect for upper voice boys’ choirs from various time periods and various genres. They will not only sing, but move as well, proving how versatile and exciting a boys choir performance can be! If you have a group of singing boys, this atelier is the perfect opportunity for them to learn with one of the best boys’ choir specialists in the planet!

About the conductor: Hirvo Surva is the Chief Chorus Master of the Estonian National Opera Chorus, Chief Conductor of the Estonian National Opera Boys’ Choir, the Estonian United Boys’ Choir Kalev and the Revalia Male Chamber Choir.

Repertoar, en indikasjon på hva de skal framføre:

• «Vareselaskja» – Kalevi Saira
• Choir from ”Carmen” – Georges Bizet
• «Sound the Trumpet» – Henry Purcell
• «Anitan parempi polkka» – Timo Lossi
• «Helmi» – Raimond Valgre

This is a special atelier for our youngest singers, as it will only last half of the festival (4 days), with its final concert on August 9th. The singers will perform in the magnificent concert hall of St Catherine’s Church – a baroque building in Vilnius, where the best musicians from around Lithuania come to have their concerts. This atelier is made for singers who might like a shorter stay but still want a magnificent concert!
