Beijing International Choral Festival
Music Celebrations International is happy to announce the 2007 Beijing International Choral Festival. There are two artistic directors for this festival:
André Thomas, Director of Choral Activities at Florida State University and director of the Tallahassee Community Chorus.
Kevin Fenton, Associate Professor of Choral Conducting and Director of the University Singers at Florida State University.
The rehearsals and festival performances will take place in both Beijing and Tianjin China, with finale concerts in the renowned Forbidden City Concert Hall and the Tianjin Zhong Hua Theatre.
The festival will feature auditioned SATB choirs from the U.S. combining with the best choirs from Beijing and Tianjin in two finale performances. These concerts will be performed in conjunction with the China National Choir Directors Association and will serve to further establish the classical choral tradition in China as well as providing unique cultural exchange opportunities for both the American and Chinese singers.
Music Celebrations has tremendous experience in China and is excited about using this festival as a way to strengthen the US/Chinese relations as well as further the art of choral singing in China.

This says only for SATB choirs…is this a possibility for SSAA choirs as well?
THanks,
Lynne Gackle,Ph.D.

Do you know what the repertoire will be? Is there a minimum number of singers from a choir that have to go? It’s hard for me to get my full ensemble or even 75% for mid-summer.
