A Guide To Planning Your Outdoor Choir Rehearsal
Choral Canada

3y ago
By Tim Stacey ​Any other year, the arrival of spring would signify the end of another concert season. Most choirs would be preparing for final performances, perhaps with repertoire selected for its relevance to the season. Otherwise, the weather wouldn't have much to do with your choral activities.   This year, however, warm weather brings the opportunity for you and your choir to once again get together in person. After what has certainly been a long winter cooped up indoors and meeting on Zoom, you may now be exploring opportunities to rehearse and perform in the great outdoors. Photo ..read more

By Margo Nightingale Since September 2020, we have been allowed to sing together in well managed, masked and socially distant rehearsals.   We have capped the number of singers who can meet in person,  increased the size of our rehearsal space, reduced the length of time we are together and while we can hum anytime through our 90 min session, we can only sing with text in the final 30 mins.   Aware some singers would be unable or uncomfortable to attend in person, we set up a Zoom connection for folks to join at home.  We recorded each rehearsal thr ..read more

Decolonizing Choirs – a panel and a lifelong journey
Choral Canada

3y ago
By Nina Horvath ​This past March, the Vancouver Bach Choir hosted our first online panel called Decolonizing Choirs. The idea for this panel germinated way back in October 2019, when I was putting together our last Canada Council application. During the writing of that application, I fell down a deep rabbit hole of introspection, wondering what our organization could be doing better to further diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), both in our own choirs, and as choral leaders.  The result of that was the vision of an ongoing series of workshops with each centred around a different DEI ..read more

by
3y ago
Written by: Dr Catherine Clase (see footnote details) Joan Fearnley (see footnote details) Recent developments in the media regarding new COVID variants and double-masking suggestions have led some choral organisations to question and re-evaluate their mask choices. In addition, in November 2020, Health Canada issued the recommendation that masks be made of three layers rather than two as was initially the case. However, many choral organisations invested in masks before this new recommendation. In this blog post we will review some key considerations of fit and fabrics for future purchases ..read more

By Laurier Fagnan ​The following is a list of equipment required to run a Hybrid-style choral rehearsal which includes both a group of singers gathering for a smaller-scale, in-person rehearsal while most of the choir joins in on that rehearsal remotely, usually via Zoom. If allowed by your local/provincial health service, this can be a very effective way to continue rehearsing while pandemic limitations are in place. Of course, all singers joining in person should wear a mask and be placed so as to respect social distancing guidelines. In addition to the list of required equipment below, ple ..read more
