Join us for an enriching and interactive workshop on Rehearsal Techniques for Children’s and Youth Choirs, presented by renowned choral conductor Gesa Werhahn. This event, hosted in collaboration with Nelson Mandela University and the Goethe-Institut, will provide an invaluable opportunity for choir directors, educators, and music enthusiasts to explore effective rehearsal strategies for working with children’s and youth choirs.
Featuring live performances and demonstrations from the Hemiola Chamber Choir and Eastern Cape Youth Choir from Gqeberha, South Africa, and the Mädchenchor from Hamburg, Germany, participants will experience firsthand the unique rehearsal techniques that help cultivate vocal technique, musicality, and ensemble cohesion in young choirs. This cross-cultural exchange between these highly regarded choirs offers an exciting platform for learning, sharing, and fostering connections between diverse musical traditions.
Whether you are a choir director, a vocal coach, or simply passionate about choral music, this event promises to be a valuable experience that will deepen your understanding of effective rehearsal practices and inspire new ideas for your own choir work.
