With an aim to bridge choral music between Canada and China, Babεl visited Hong Kong in July 2019 and hosted a series of choral workshops with local schools in Hong Kong. A total of six sessions were organized with five participating schools. During the week, Babεl introduces a number of choral works composed by Canadian Composers to the young singers in Hong Kong, exploring the undiscovered beauty of Canadian choral music culture. Dr Elaine Choi and her team introduces a number of lively rehearsal techniques to conduct rehearsals for the singers, providing guidance and refinements to the work of the choirs.
“Canadian Choral Mosaic” is the closing concert for the Workshop, showcasing the work of the choirs over the week. Babεl would also be performing in the concert. As the guest choir and the organizer of the event, CU Chorus would present two cantonese choral works, which would be performed in their upcoming Taipei tour at the Taipei International Choral Festival.
