CHORAL IGNITE SERIES

The Choral Ignite Series is dedicated to broadening choirs' horizons by introducing them to diverse conductors and a spectrum of musical styles. This initiative aims not only to elevate their performance standards but also to shatter the confines of isolation within which they typically function.

The Process

All 6 music styles will be Recorded as part of the CCNF Academy Modules

Choirs will be invited to enroll for a specific masterclass in a selected genre, where the WHOLE CHOIR will work with our master conductor. They will prepare a selected song before the time to arrive ready to be guided to performance readiness highlighting the pitfalls, tips and tricks.

The afternoon will be a workshop open to all conductors of the regions who want to participate where all 6 genres will be discussed and illustrated using the recorded content as baseline.

The day will end in a showcase concert with the choirs of the morning performing their music genre they worked on as well as the Choral Ignite Anthem as mass choir at the end.
