What happens during a workshop?
Each workshop begins with breathing, posture and vocal exercises, followed by physical and vocal warm-ups. Participants then learn a song: they listen to the choir director and repeat after her. Iris Thion-Poncet and pianist Katia Weimann offer advice on how to sing well together. Entresilences, a professional choir directed by Iris Thion-Poncet, sometimes sings alongside the participants.
