Introducing the 5th Choral Conducting Summer Course, to be held in Barcelona from July 3 to 7, 2024.

In 2019, the FCEC and the SCIC decided to join forces to create a summer course based on two main ideas. First of all, the idea was to create a different framework from the regular courses run by both organisations: an intensive summer course that offers a new space for people to enhance their skills in choral conducting, open to both beginners and conductors with experience. And, secondly, that of pooling resources to create a transversal management course, a course where each student can choose their specialty and level, but which will also offer joint sessions that seek to expand training in all facets of management and in diversity typical of the choral world.

The course offers two levels focused on mixed choir conducting, and one level focused on conducting children’s choirs. This year we are very excited to welcome María Guinand (VEN) as teacher for the advanced level of mixed choir. Elisenda Carrasco will taught the mid-advanced level of children’s choir, and Pere Lluís Biosca and Jordi Lluch the mid-level group of mixed choir. All groups will have a rehearsal choir and repertoire pianist. The course also offers a begginer level taught by Pere Lluís Biosca and Jordi Lluch, open to anyone who wants to start conducting choirs, whether mixed choirs or children’s choirs.

In addition, the course will feature workshops and open sessions on specific topics related to choral singing.

After the success of the previous four summer courses, we are looking forward to welcoming you to the fifth year of the course!
