Soloist and Ensemble Information
The Porgy and Bess Suite is arranged by R. Bennett for two soloists (soprano and baritone), choir and orchestra.
American Voices offers a week long project that features the following elements:
- sending choral scores and orchestral materials in advance
- video/DVD recordings from previous projects for study
- providing Ira Spaulding and John Ferguson to coach and do musical preparation for the performance over a 5-6 day period
- provide Ira Spaulding as baritone soloist and conductor for choir
From the participating choir we would request only the advance preparation with own conductor.
American Voices returns from India, Afghanistan and Thailand
