The ZêzereArts innovatively curated choral programmes offer all singers, whether they have years of experience or are just starting out, high-quality learning opportunities and performances in beautiful surroundings in Portugal.
Our enhanced programme for advanced singers comprises two contrasting programmes. Under the expert direction of Dr. Vasco Negreiros, the Chamber Choir will not only gain a deeper knowledge but also a different sense of what singing Palestrina can be, discovering his influence on Portuguese disciple Manuel Cardoso, and throwing out any notion of Palestrina being cold or unemotional with a repertoire that includes his colourful and passionate settings of Petrarch.
The second part of the week is dedicated to the Festival Chorus and an inspiring symphonic programme directed by Brian MacKay: contemporary works by Aleksandra Vrebalov and James Buonemani are beautifully complemented with Brahms.
