Join us and sing Faure’s Requiem in the magnificent Gothenburg Concert Hall!
During the fall holidays every year, young singers and musicians from West Sweden meet in Gothenburg Concert hall. During the course, you develop your voice and your instrument skills and get to work on stage with professional singers, musicians and educators in one of the world’s finest concert halls. You are about 14-23 years old and used to reading sheet music. The final fireworks are a concert in the mighty Stora salen!
The Fall Break Choir is led with a warm hand by conductor Kim Phipps.
