SINGING SATURDAYS - An Online Choral Workshop Series
Six Saturdays: November 14 - December 19, 2020
All sessions 11 a.m. Pacific Time
SF Symphony Chorus Director Ragnar Bohlin will join us from his home in Sweden for a six-session series to hone your choral singing skills. We'll gather for healthy vocal warm-ups and then explore some of your favorites from the choral repertoire.
From Ragnar: "Each session is an exploration of techniques that will make selected passages from a great choral work beautiful and musical. Although they are not choral rehearsals as such, they will include interludes of singing together through parts and movements of the pieces being studied."
