The Voice Project





Pick of the week Wintersongs 2011 Experimental collaboration developing the fruitful recent relationship between elegiacally hip saxist Andy Sheppard and The Voice Project Choir The Guardian December 2011		NORFOLK AND NORWICH FESTIVAL 2012 Singing the City – From Dawn to Dusk – Saturday 12th May This year’s project is a musical mystery tour animating the medieval streets and buildings from St Andrews Plain to Cathedral Close with exciting new music created specially for the Voice Project Choir by Jeremy Avis, Jonathan Baker, Helen Chadwick and Orlando Gough. We plan to stage three performances that make use of a whole variety of interesting and unusual acoustic spaces - interior and exterior: placing singers in squares and streets, crypts and alleys, dark corners and cloisters, courtyards and rooftops. The piece will have a more theatrical feel than previous projects and we will be working with a theatre director as part of our rehearsal process. The libretto is being created by George Szirtes and Andrew McDonnell and will describe worlds of shadow and light and tell the stories of past and present. We are making a piece which features the beauty of a single voice on a rooftop; the harmonic intrigue of a small ensemble in a crypt and the uplifting sound of massed voices in the cloisters and nave of Norwich Cathedral. The whole piece is being directed by Geraldine Pilgrim. Summersongs Come and sing in France - July 20th - 22nd 2012 The Voice Project will be running Summersongs, a short residential singing course, this July in Coutances, a beautiful medieval town in Normandy. Sian Croose and Jon Baker will teach songs new and old from around the world to singers from France and the UK. There will be an informal performance at the end. No previous experience necessary.
