Engaging the young : what can chamber choirs do? 

 

Tenso Professionals Meeting 2015

Porto (PT) 10-12 April 2015

 


    

Involving children in music projects can take many shapes. In this year's meeting for experts from the choral world in Europe and others, we will look how choirs can work with children - producing high-level projects that will inspire all participants.

 

We will look at several benchmark projects developed by 

  • Casa da M�sica (PT) live showcases
  • The Sixteen (UK) 
  • RIAS Kammerchor (DE)
  • Palau de la M�sica (CAT)
  • BBC 10 pieces (UK) 
  • Kipina (FI) 

 and more, and discuss these with their creators and producers.

 

   

The meeting takes place in the renowned Casa da M�sica, celebrating its 10th anniversary that weekend with showcases and concerts which participants of Tenso Professionals Meeting will be able to attend.
