2013 Slavic Choral Festival
Greetings
The first 2013 Slavic Choral Festival will begin
in Prague, Czech Republic and conclude in Krakow,
Poland. The trip is open to 'singers' and 'non-singers' from the
greater Southern California area. We have a maximum of 58 people for the
June 20-30, 2013 Slavic Choral Festival
tour.
To facilitate your review of the Itinerary and Repertoire
(see attachments) a general meeting of everyone interested will be held
Monday evening February 27th at 7:00 PM in the Nakano Theatre, Torrance
Cultural Arts Center Campus. At that time questions will be answered,
specific rehearsal dates to begin April, 2013 will be given along with
providing any information not currently included.
The touring itinerary is constructed to allow plenty of personal 'free' time
in both cities yet enough time to collectively tour many incredible places
of interest. Up to 5 choirs from the Prague, Czech Republic
and Krakow, Poland will join us. Perhaps other
choirs from Europe and America as well.
The ten Festival repertoire selections will feature a Czech Republic and an
American conductor in Prague and then a Polish and an American conductor in
Warsaw. Each 2013 Slavic Choral Festival choir
will be given up to 10 minutes to perform their own Festival choral
selections. The California choir will be given an evening to concertize in
Krakow, Poland by ourselves (see itinerary) following the
Festival's conclusion.
2013 Slavic Choral Festival repertoire with
examples from Utube are performances for you to
enjoy. These selections are not necessarily in concert order.
This special invitation to become a 'Founding Choir' for this first ever
2013 Slavic Choral Festival is an opportunity of a
lifetime. Our singing venues in Prague and Krakow
will come from options selected by the Festival Committee. Each Cathedral
venue under consideration is historical and world famous with maximum
seating of 850 in Prague and 1,000 in Krakow for the largest seating
possible.
Please take time to review the materials and consider the first
2013 Slavic Choral Festival. Should you wish any additional
information before February 27th, please contact David Burks, Artistic
Director and Conductor, Torrance Civic Chorale at (310) 372-1380 or by email

Otherwise I'll see you Monday evening, February 27th at 7:00 in the Nakano
Theatre for kick-off 2013 Slavic Choral Festival.
Best wishes,
David Burks
