Veda Slovena Bulgarian Choir is recruiting all voice types. The new season starts next Wednesday 10th September. We are a small London-based mixed-voice choir specialising in traditional Bulgarian sacred and secular vocal music. Veda Slovena Bulgarian Choir were chosen Choir of the Day at the Croydon audition round of Choir of the Year 2014 and performed successful concerts at Brandenburg Choral Festival, International Sangerstevne Choral Festival, The Convent in Stroud, as well as at popular club nights (Upstairs at the Ritzy, Woodburner, Gypsy Nights @ Green Note), and academic events of School of Slavonic and East European Studies at UCL. The choir is led by native Bulgarian singer Eugenia Georgieva who provides vocal training, choral advice and pronunciation coaching. Eugenia is director of the critically acclaimed Perunika Trio and is a member of Natural Voice Practitioners Network who believe that everyone could and should sing. She has lead numerous Bulgarian workshops in London and at popular festivals. Her teaching style targets both individual voice production and choral skills development, weaving the unique Bulgarian vocal technique into the fabric of classical choral practices. The repertoire encompasses authentic antiphonal and diaphonic singing, modern 3 to 6 part arrangements and Orthodox chants, performed in original Bulgarian dialects and Church Slavonic. If you have a passion for stunning Bulgarian harmonies, we may be the right choir for you. As we are committed to keeping the standard high, you will be invited to pass a simple vocal assessment before you join. Sight-reading skills, knowledge of the language or previous experience of singing Bulgarian music are not required. Eugenia combines teaching by ear in the spirit of Bulgarian singing tradition with using scores and audio files. All lyrics are transliterated and translated. The choir performs regularly, usually once a month. We are a hardworking and dedicated but friendly and vibrant group and enjoy great social time together. Rehearsals every Wednesday, 19.00-21.00, in room G03, Institute of Education/ UCL, 26 Bedford Way WC1H 0AP (nearest stations Euston/ Russell Square). Subscription fee applies.
