Voice

VOice

The voice program offers a custom-made program for advanced voice students, aged 18 years and over and young professionals and covers exhaustive study of the French repertoire and style. While working on an entire role or varied repertoire, the student is called upon to understand the differences and to master the different aspects of the French style. The repertoire could come from XVII to XX century mélodie, oratorio, opera or opéra-comique. The program ends with a concert to demonstrate the acquired knowledge and skills.

At the end of the program, during the concerts on August 22 and 24, 2024, the participants will join their talents to the chamber orchestra program to present the final scenes of two major works of the lyrical repertoire: Offenbach’s La vie parisienne and Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro. Also, in the intimate setting of St-Irénée’s church, a chamber music concert will be held by participants from both programs featuring French melodies for voice, strings, and piano.
