The Summer Academy of the French Capriccio

With Maarten Koningsberger, the singers focus their work on soloist repertoire, performance, as well as collegial practice. Technical work will concentrate on posture, breathing, phonation and voice consistency, so that students may develop their instrument. Students will study how a successful performance also requires expression and interpretation of a piece.

Every day starts with a class in posture and breathing. Every student receives a daily private lesson in vocal technique with Maarten Koningsberger.

Students work with Hélène Dufour and Stefano Intrieri, either individually or in small groups.

The day ends with a masterclass.

Le Capriccio Français Summer Music Academy offers a tuition program for singers, as well as a choral program, from August 19 to August 27 2023. The Academy takes place in Barcelona (Spain). The students will develop their technical skills together with their stylistic skills on Baroque Music repertoire. Singers, students in choral conducting and choral singers work together all through the session, sharing their stylistic knowledge, and prepare auditions and the final concert together. The concert will be held on Saturday 26th August in the Església de Sant Gaietà. Our Academy faculty: Maarten Koningsberger (singers) Hélène Dufour and Stefano Intrieri (vocal coaches) Muriel Ferraro (choir and singers) Philippe Le Fèvre (choir and choral conducting)
