organised in collaboration with the Estonian Choral Association
Continuing the line of conferences discussing hot topics of the choral world, we organised the public conference “sing outside the box”. We set up an exciting programme focusing on “different” ways to perform, to interact with (new and younger) audiences, and cooperation with other art forms. On Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, we discovered new ideas, exchanged along practical sessions and also even sang (outside the box, of course…).
The conference ended with a concert on Saturday evening.
The public conference was part of the cooperation project “sing outside the box” coordinated by the Estonian Choral Association in cooperation with ZIMIHC, Sulasol and ECA-EC, and co-funded by the European Union Creative Europe programme. The project develops an in-depth cooperation between the EuroChoir sessions 2017 in Utrecht (NL) and 2018 in Helsinki (FI) and the EUROPA CANTAT Festival in Tallinn (EE).
Members gathered and discussed the activities, projects and future development of their association.
Interesting projects from the membership were presented in short and entertaining 5 minutes slots.
