In a few words

Discover a unique choral singing workshop dedicated to exploring an original and varied repertoire , different from that usually worked on in a choir. Under the attentive and dynamic direction of an experienced choir director , you will progress in a stimulating atmosphere that fosters listening skills , vocal precision , and the joy of singing together.

Open to choir members with regular practice, this workshop also welcomes motivated beginners wishing to learn in a structured environment. The teaching combines reading sheet music and ear training , facilitating everyone's integration and making the repertoire accessible, even without extensive musical experience. Please note: the duration of the workshop is insufficient to address significant vocal difficulties.

The program concludes with a concert in the church of Bessans , highlighting the collective work accomplished during the week.

Two options are available:

  1. Choral singing for half a day , with free time for the other half of the day.
  2. Choral singing and hiking , combining artistic practice and active exploration

The price includes only the singing workshop. The hiking option is offered as an additional activity for those who wish to enrich their experience.

The highlights

  • Option for singing alone or singing and mountain hiking
  • A singing experience with a qualified team
  • An exceptional accommodation located in the heart of the Haute Maurienne Vanoise
