Europa Cantat Barcelona 2003

Prosjekt: Europa Cantat Barcelona 2003

All the activities will take place in the frame of the festival Europa Cantat XV in Barcelona between July 18th and 27th 2003. Actions will include: the first ever meeting of national and regional youth choirs with 2 ateliers directed by top conductors; the "Songbridge" project in which 4 children's and girls' choirs will cooperate with a well-known composer who will write a new composition that will be performed at the festival; the European Academy for Young Choral Conductors will organise a seminar for young conductors who will then present themselves in a concert at the festival.

The festival aims to bring young people together to encourage personal contacts and future exchange; to give young artists the opportunity to continue and improve their education and work under the direction of very qualified conductors; they hope the project will lead to the creation of new national and regional youth choirs in different EU countries, an increase in choral compositions for youth choirs and an improvement in the level of choral singing in Europe.
