DESCRIPTION
Nous allons chanter ensemble un programme sur le thème de l'hiver. À travers des pièces issues du répertoire lyrique, nous allons explorer la voix, ses différents registres et la façon dont elle se module en fonction des langues et des styles que l'on traverse. Nous allons également nous plonger dans des harmonies très différentes en fonction des époques et des pays traversés par les morceaux. Certains chants seront faits en choeur, d'autres en solo (voire un mélange des deux). Des enregistrements seront envoyés à tous les participants. Ils permettront à chacun de se faire une idée générale du programme, mais aussi de choisir (si cela est souhaité) l'un ou l'autre solo. Vous recevrez également des enregistrements avec les voix séparées pour que vous puissiez déjà préparer le travail. Pour clore ce stage, une présentation de fin de travail sera proposée. Nous nous réjouissons de vous accueillir pour ces deux semaines de chant et de jeu autour de la musique.
Speakers
Zoe Pireaux
It was at the Liège Conservatory, where she obtained a didactic master's degree in singing in the class of Véronique Solhosse, that Zoé began her journey as an opera singer. There she discovered contemporary music which she worked with, among others, Jean-Pierre Peuvion, Vincent Royer, Mia Elezovic and François Deppe. Also fond of baroque music, she deepened her learning with Caroline Weynants and Thibaut Lenaerts. Attracted by the theatrical environment and the theater-music link, she performs as a singer in the musical theater show “Lure bleu”, by Cie sansfilter. Her attraction to different musical styles also led her to join jazz projects (Taxìdi with whom she recorded the album “Dreamy Train”) and even experimental projects. In 2016, she joined the Namur Chamber Choir with whom she sang under the direction of Leonardo García Alarcón, Jean-Claude Malgloire, Christophe Rousset and Thibaut Lenaerts.
Pavel Chikov
Passionate about rock, Pavel nevertheless began with classical education before turning to jazz with Fabien Degryse. He then studied at the Royal Conservatory of Liège in the class of Hughes Kolp. Currently, he is particularly interested in sound through the electric guitar within different styles (rock, metal, funk, electro, experimental music, gypsy jazz, free improvisation, etc.).
