Pop Choir
edited by Margherita Flore
Margherita Flore’s Pop Choir Laboratory is based on the entirely vocal reworking of songs taken from the international, modern and contemporary Pop scene. The writing of the arrangements focuses on the search for vocal versatility in reproducing elements of the rhythm section strictly a cappella, alternating percussive skills with layered melodic lines. By studying the repertoire we will proceed to identify some imitative timbres of the instruments, to be achieved through scores and audio samples recorded for each section.
Good reading required

Fantasy Voices Choir
edited by Milena Nigro
Singing in choir is a great way to improve one’s listening skills and perception of harmony and rhythm. It is also a tremendous stimulus for those who want to gain more control of vocal technique. One’s voice must shape, mold and be enriched with harmonics in order to blend in and surrender to the magic of choral sound, the excitement of melodic and rhythmic interlacing.
In the multistylistic choir, they will work from a cappella pieces to develop rhythmic ability and intonation, vocal emission quality and deep perception of harmony, and then move on to repertoire with rhythm section or orchestral ensembles.
The repertoire will range from Disney soundtrack masterpieces to the great classics of popular music, jazz and Brazilian music, with all original arrangements created for the ensemble on hand.
Part of the work will be devoted to studying the form of the proposed arrangements, enabling the choristers to easily follow even a complex score.
Auditions Saturday, Nov. 19 from 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. at Classroom 14 on Baccina Street
The course will start on November 26 with 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. weekly cadence
Popular Music Choir
by Cristina Zavalloni
This choir aims to be a collective moment of sharing folk music in the broadest sense. Music that belongs to our heritage, from various stylistic backgrounds: from villanelles, madrigals, traditional songs, and pop.
The first goal is to sing together: to listen to each other, recognizing the vibration that is produced and that unites us.
My wish is for much singing and little reading. We will make both written and improvised music together, and mnemonic learning will be key. Many of the harmonizations of the various voices will be offered verbally, to train the ear and make us pliable and willing to work in a new way each time.
The course is open to any type of voice.
Auditions Thursday, Oct. 27 time 09:00 a.m. – 11:40 a.m. at Cimarra Classroom 6
The course will start on November 10 with a schedule of 09:00 – 10:40 a.m. fortnightly
