SUMMER SCHOOL 26th July-31st July 2010

'Vocal Workshop' with Lillian Boutte.

Monday 26th to Friday 30th 9:30am - 3:30pm After 14 years with Oxford Summer School Lillian returns to once again rehearse a choir of all comers. The Vocal workshop is open to all ages and students need only one thing – the enthusiasm to sing. To quote Lillian, “Don’t be afraid – YOU can sing”. The choir rehearses a wonderful collection of songs, many from New Orleans, that will surprise and delight you. Work will cover music & harmonies, finding where your voice fits into the choir and working with individuals and small groups. It is this approach, along with Lillian’s expressive voice and joyous personality that makes for a very special week. The week climaxes with a public concert on the evening of Friday 30 July.

LILLIAN BOUTTÉ is considered to be one of the finest singers to have come out of New Orleans and is a monument to jazz, blues and gospel. She was decorated Ambassador of Music by the city of New Orleans — the only musician since Louis Armstrong to have received this honour. As Ambassador she has liaised between dignitaries of the city and various festivals throughout the world. She frequently visits Britain to take part in concerts and to run singing workshops.

Course Cost for 5 days £175. Non Refundable Deposit £50.
