Description

Following the closure of the "Musique en Côte de Nacre" festival, in which a number of local choristers took part every year in the choir academy, and in the absence of such an event nearby, we decided to form an association and create a training course.

Our aim is by no means to take over the festival as it existed, with its various academies and concerts, but to put together one or two works each year, which will then be presented during three concerts given in Terre de Nacre.

The choir workshop will enable amateur choristers from various local choirs to meet, work together and perform one or two works from the classical repertoire, in a summery yet studious atmosphere.

Our aim is also to showcase local musicians. First and foremost, we call on local players: amateur choristers, but also professional and amateur musicians, instrumentalists and solo singers who live in or come from the area.

Our approach also aims to promote the cultural dynamism of the Côte de Nacre, by offering a greater diversity of summer concerts in the area, and by showcasing our architectural heritage, as the concerts are given in churches.

The course : The 13-day, fee-paying course is open to adult (+18 years) male and female choristers with a good knowledge of music and choral singing. They will be supervised by professionals: a choir director, an orchestra conductor and an accompanying pianist.

It will be held in Douvres la Délivrande, on the premises of the CDC Coeur de Nacre music school, during the second half of July, starting on July 15, 2025.

First week: dedicated to choristers only, with piano accompaniment.

Second week: instrumentalists will gradually be added, followed by soloists, until the final concerts.

Concerts : There will be 3 concerts on the Côte de Nacre. The chosen churches are St Aubin sur mer, Douvres la Délivrande (Saint Rémi) and Ouistreham (Chapelle). - Ouistreham July 26 21h Chapelle Riva-Bella - Saint aubin sur mer July 25 21h at the church - Douvres la Délivrande July 27 21h at Saint Remi church
