How lovely it was to meet friends and make new acquaintances at the World Symposium on Choral Music 2023 inİstanbul in April! Musica International (www.musicanet.org), a multimedia collaborative database of the world’s choral repertoire, invites you to meet again, this time in Strasbourg, France, from 23-28 October 2023 at a Musica Workshop. The workshop is a gathering for choral conductors, music librarians, publishers, composers, and experienced choral music lovers. The aim is to (re)discover the Musica database and to enrich it with new choral scores. Whether you bring your own scores to enter into the database or you grab the ones proposed by Musica, you will benefit from discussing the pieces with peers (difficulties, keys, liturgical use, keywords, pronunciation of the text, etc.), and you will receive on-the-spot help from the Musica International team. You will also find new repertoire ideas and learn how to optimize your usage of the Musica database for building your future concert programs. Why not also using the opportunity to promote the choral repertoire from your country or region?
The workshop takes place on the campus of the Strasbourg University where the working space has a view on the Strasbourg Cathedral, one of the finest examples of Rayonnant Gothic architecture in the world!
After the workshop, you can continue using Musica online in order to find repertoire ideas, to add new descriptive records of choral works, and to manage your own musical library.
There is no tuition fee. Participants are responsible for their own transportation and accommodation costs.
Do you want to organize a Musica Workshop in your own town or region? If so, please contact office@musicanet.org.
