Leading the following workshop in EUROPA CANTAT Pécs:
During this atelier the members of the atelier will make their own arrangements of popular tunes or folk songs suited to their own singing abilities and sound. Jonathan Rathbone (former director and arranger for the Swingle Singers) will help the group create their own arrangements based on their own ideas and improvisations. As nothing will be written down, this will mean music reading will not be necessary. Just a joy of singing and the ability to respond to what you hear.
