Tenso Europe Chamber Choir

 

We are proud to announce the launch of TENSO EUROPE CHAMBER CHOIR, a new initiative of Tenso Network Europe and conductor Kaspars Putniņs. The choir will bring together 24 of Europe's most talented young professional singers for a summer project of coaching and performances. Participating in the choir will give young singers valuable experience of what it is like to be part of a professional vocal ensemble.

 

Tenso Europe Chamber Choir will be the first pan-European professional choir to come into existence. In 2013 we will organize a pilot project; the choir will be officially launched next year in Riga (Cultural Capital City 2014).

 

We hope you will help us make the news known to the world ! The call for young singers to participate is out; all information about the application and selection procedure can be found on the website www.tensoeuropechamberchoir.eu.

Eric Ericson passes away
 

Eric Ericson

On 16 February, Eric Ericson died peacefully at the venerable age of 94. The influence of his work as choral conductor extends far beyond his homeland Sweden, where in 1945, he founded the Kammarkör (now Tenso-member Eric Ericsons Kammarkör) and in 1951, the Swedish Radio Choir. He worked with all prominent European chamber choirs, and left his mark on the development of many choral ensembles. As a professor at Stockholm's Musikhögskolan, he taught a new generation of choral conductors. Eric Ericson was Honorary President of the International Federation for Choral Music.

 

Tenso gratefully acknowledges the enormous importance of his work and the unlimited generosity of his personality.
