This is our first Virtual Choir, created October-December 2020 on Dharug, Eora and Kuring-gai land. After performing Ola Gjeilo's 'The Ground' in our final concert in 2019, we were preparing it again for our 'Indomitable Spirit' concert in May 2020. Then, Covid-19 arrived. Like many Choirs, we kept going online, or outdoors when permitted. This film is a record of our year, made to remind ourselves that joy and connection are still available to us, despite distance and change. Macquarie Singers & Macquarie Chamber Orchestra Conductor: Sarah Penicka-Smith Piano: Josephine Allan Violin 1: Tess Duflou Violin 2: Sagar Nagaraj Viola: Kathryn Ramsay Cello: Marc Valpiani Video engineer: Connor Malanos Audio engineer: Joshua Winestock Supported with a community grant from Epping Community Bank (Bendigo Bank).  less

Materiał został nagrany przez chórzystów w domach w czasie kwarantanny w czerwcu 2020. #spiewajwdomu #zostanwdomu Dzięki możliwościom jakie daje internet, członkowie nagrodzonego srebrnym pasmem chóru zaśpiewali wspólnie po raz pierwszy od kilku miesięcy. Zaprosili do nagrania także przyjaciół z trzech kontynentów. Zespół w pieśni północnoamerykańskich Indian daje nadzieję, że wraz z zachodem słońca odejdą problemy i nadejdzie lepsze jutro.  "Evening rise" jest efektem pracy ponad 30 chórzystów. Projekt stanowi nie tylko finał sezonu artystycznego zespołu, ale i wyjątkowe muzyczne spotkanie w wirtualnym świecie. Wirtualny chór w wykonaniu “Razzle Dazzle” wyróżnia się  6-głosem a cappella. Dodatkowym wyzwaniem dla śpiewaków był brak odsłuchu linii melodycznej i metronomu w słuchawce. Dyrygentka wskazywała jedynie dźwięk początkowy i końcowy poszczególnych pokazów tematu. Dzięki tym zabiegom każdy z uczestników móg...    less

This Project we did gave some of our members the studio experience while also challenging them in an area of music they were not used to! In this case, the areas we wanted to expose our members to were the ins and outs of recording in the studio, learning a technical piece using the written score and learning how to be aware of our presence while on video. We hope to provide more experiences like this to our members on NGGC. Enjoy!  less

His "retirement Project" - developing his own theory of gravity - has been a huge inspiration in my own compositional journey late in life. Some background: I have sung the traditional version of Good King Wenceslas since I was a kid. I fell in love with the lyrics and the story, but have always been puzzled by the way it was arranged, in particular the way that the "las" of Wenceslas lands on the downbeat. When I was young, I thought the lyrics were actually "Good King Wences last looked out!" All to say that I got inspired to create a totally different version. I used the 19th century poem by John Mason Neale, but I wanted to create a different "feel" to the story, to take it back in time to its origins in the Middle Ages - hence the medieval feel to much of the piece. I also felt that since the Wenceslas story is all about a journey, a setting in 3/4 time would create a better sense of that feeling, ra...    less

Participants performed in the crypt of the legendary Sagrada Família in Barcelona, in the historic Sant Romà Church in Lloret de Mar, and joined Choirs from different countries to fill the city’s main square with music. The competition became a true platform for cultural exchange: creative meetings, joint rehearsals, and masterclasses with international experts gave participants new knowledge and lasting inspiration. Golden Voices of Barcelona is more than just a competition — it is an event where music transcends borders and unites hearts. More Info https://Choirs.fiestalonia.net/  less

An artist who stops creating ceases to be an artist. Academic Choir of Gdańsk University of Technology, the oldest artistic student organization at the Gdańsk University of Technology, despite current situation, has not ceased its activity. We organise ourselves, work and create. This is the first "product" of our Virtual work. We did it for yourselves to give you a little respite, joy, smile, hope and faith in a better future. Thanks to the fact that we have a share in culture - as creators and recipients - it is easier to live, it is easier to face everyday challenges. Music has great power. Music reaches our senses. We become better people thanks to music. -- Conductor, Mariusz Mróz The accompaniment to the song was played on a digital piano by Ewa Mróz, while the part of the oboe was performed by Karolina Kacprzycka.  less
