Fauré Requiem in Montréal – Sing with us - June 2019 with Elena Sharkova

JOIN ME

Montréal Choral Festival

(SATB)

JUNE 16-20, 2019

KIconcerts has asked me to lead a festival for youth and community choirs and I couldn’t think of a better destination than Montreal, Canada!

I am proposing we perform the Fauré Requiem (tbd). This will add to the French flavor of the event. In addition to our combined rehearsals we will be inviting choirs to sing in their own right and in their own concerts if they wish it. The touring opportunities will be both educational and fun.

I am looking forward to working with you and your singers. Be in touch for more information

Join Frank Ticheli for his Toronto Band Festival - June 2019

YOU'RE INVITED TO JOIN MY

Toronto Band Festival

JUNE 24-28, 2019

I am inviting full and partial ensembles (student and community bands) to combine for a spectacular gala concert in the lead up to Canada Day 2019.

We will rehearse and perform together as a festival ensemble in addition to opportunities for bands to perform individually. There is nothing quite like musicians coming together in this way to celebrate their talent in great venues in front of appreciative audiences.

I look forward to working with you as we prepare for this special celebration of North American band music. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have based on my great experience working with KIconcerts on previous festivals like this.

The performance venues were world class, working with Frank Ticheli was a once in a lifetime experience, but what’s even more is that everything from the hotel, to the tour guides, to the coach drivers, to the logistics, even down to the food was outstanding!
