In the 16th century, the Doge of Venice used to go to San Marco to pray in front of a huge lump of gold. And the Council of Ten decreed that if an interesting theme came to the organist during the service, the priest must wait until the music was over. The local multi-choir "concerto" was so popular that most European composers adopted the form. And people flocked to San Marco in droves for the concerto. Nowhere else were the conditions better for the birth of baroque music. Come to the studio and be there in person. We'll fill the space together with exultant and sublime music.

Are you tempted to experience the land of reindeer, saunas and vodka, the land of a thousand lakes? To immerse yourself in the mysterious, for us already a bit alien folk music of this wind-whipped nation? Four folk songs of different regions and moods await you. We'll get our tongues in a twist as we learn Finnish and the traditional folk instrument, the kantele, will be available to try out. We will also demonstrate the kulning singing technique, widespread throughout Scandinavia.

Workshop 5

Body & Soul

Choirmaster: Dita Kosmáková

Charlie Puth - One Call Away

arr. Moira Smiley - Bring Me Little Water, Sylvie

Erik Bosio - 224

Peter Gabriel - Washing of the Water

As the name of the studio subtly suggests, we will try not only to feed, but also to engage the body and soul. (The reward is, of course, that deep musical experience that will warm you on the way to the next choir rehearsal.
Popular music never ceases to teach and fascinate me, and so I firmly hope to meet again some equally spirited daredevils.
P.S. Please take the physical component literally, so equip your travelling bag with loose and comfortable clothing.
