Smash EC hits!
This workshop will revisit some of the unforgettable hits of open singing
sessions from different festivals. Open singing is an unforgettable collective moment that has been taking place as EC’s central event ever since 1961. Join us in singing songs in various dance rhythms, gospel melodies, pop and jazz harmonies … which are likely to become part of your choir’s regular repertoire. Let’s get the choral “happy hour” started! Singing cocktails mixed for you by Denis and pianist Mathieu Le Nestour.
