Renowned Swedish vocal ensemble, Kongero, will teach a variety of Swedish folk songs and tunes in 2- to 4-part harmony – all by ear, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the Dairy Building. Kongero works and experiments with genre specific sounds, grooves, articulation, improvisation, and ornaments, in what they term folk'apella. The participants will get tips and feed-back on vocal technique, intonation, tools for improving their singing together, basic arranging ideas, and we always have a lovely and fun time singing. The four Kongero singers are all skilled and experienced workshop leaders. Two Kongero members hold university degrees in vocal technique and are educated vocal teachers. Kongero has released two Song Books with the songs and arrangements they teach in workshop settings. All levels and ages of singers are welcome! Kongero teaches elementary school children all the way up to mixed age choirs and look forward to singing with you! Song books will be available for sale at the workshop, but are not necessary for participation. Reservations are not required. For more information about this workshop, please call 309-927-3899 or email [email protected]. Sponsored by the BHHA, Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation, and SWEA-Chicago.
