The Brandenburg Choral Festival of London has created an online choral project to combat the Covid-19 restrictions<\/h3>\n

The Brandenburg Camino is an online Musical Pilgrimage, of four-week study courses of great works.<\/p>\n

It is designed for those who might be missing singing with their choirs or interested in learning to improve their singing and knowledge of choral repertoire.<\/p>\n

Step 2 starts on August 9 when singers will learn and ultimately perform the Agnus Dei from Faure’s Requiem. But you can join in any time during the four weeks.<\/p>\n

A metaphor for the ancient pilgrim route across Northern Spain, the Brandenburg Camino invites singers to collaborate over Zoom in a study of a popular choral work lasting four weeks.<\/p>\n

Each four week Step culminates in a video performance you record at home on your phone!<\/p>\n

Rehearsals, study aides, and social interactions bring each Step to life, with individual and small-group opportunities and the chance to vote for the repertoire for the following Step.<\/p>\n

Social activities are based in the virtual El Camino Wine Bar, officially opened by Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne, a keen musician and politician.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An impressive 200 Friends of Brandenburg signed up for Step 1, and registration is now open for Step 2 which starts on Sunday 9 August.<\/p>\n

The Camino Project gives everyone the chance to learn with Brandenburg Artistic Director Bob Porter and Vocal Consultant Matthew Buswell. Members also get to sing with a backing track recorded by professional musicians, and enjoy online social time with other music lovers.<\/p>\n

Musician, conductor and founder of the Brandenburg Festival Bob Porter said: \u201cMaking an online recording is merely an end product, and just doesn\u2019t satisfy the regular choir singer\u2019s hunger for music and social interaction. We\u2019ve added a whole range of extra activities and I think we\u2019ve developed a project that\u2019s serious about what it does, but doesn\u2019t take itself too seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baritone Matt Buswell, who is also offering members 30-minute private singing lessons, said, \u201cCreating bespoke vocal sessions means I can provide an opportunity for a singer to find, and explore, their voice after a possible lockdown hibernation.”<\/p>\n

Those who took part in Step 1 of the Camino clearly loved the experience. Culminating in a video recording of Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus with the Brandenburg Sinfonia which you can watch here<\/a>, comments included: “It was a real learning curve, “An absolute joy, \u00a0“A life saver” “Matthew’s singing lessons were inspirational”.<\/p>\n

Music scores are provided and prices per Step are from just \u00a35.\u00a0For more information click here<\/a><\/p>\n
