The Webinar “Creating Choral Music — Talking about the requirements of choral repertoire” will focus on three well-known composers representing different global regions. These composers will share some of their compositions and their ideas on creating choral music for ensembles.

Marie Herrington (USA). Marie is a Ukrainian-American soprano, composer, and music director. She is the winner of the IFCM Composition Competition 2023-2024. She will present her winning piece A Jelly-Fish with two other choral pieces.
Jaakko Mäntyjärvi (Finland). Jaakko is a professional freelance translator and composer as well as an amateur and semi-professional choral singer and conductor. He is one of Finland’s internationally best-known composers of choral music with a catalog of 150 works published to date.
Eva Ugalde (Basque Country, Spain). With extensive choral experience, Eva began writing music for raw voices because of being encouraged by Javier Busto, one of the pioneers of the new wave of composers that flourished at the end of the 20th century. She is regularly invited as jury member at prestigious international composition competitions around the world.

This Webinar is part of the Choral TIES project coordinated by the European Choral Association and co-funded by the European Union Creative Europe programme and organised in cooperation with IFCM.
