Leading the following workshop in EUROPA CANTAT Pécs:
Together, we enjoy singing the songs we all know and love: from folk to pop to jazz or even techno… if it sounds, we can sing it! But what if the music we would like to sing is not at all vocal? What if it is orchestral music, or a violin sonata, or piano music? And now that we are setting challenges for ourselves, what if we were to take the pinnacle of keyboard music: Bach’s Goldberg Variations and sing them in Bach’s style! Could it be done? Come and discover how this famous keyboard work has taken on a new form: Bach’s Goldberg Variations, for mixed choir, with soloist and baroque orchestra.
