Information
Aequalis Foundation and CICCAG assisted by IFCM will join the celebration of World Choral Day,which is Alberto Grau’s initiative when he was Vice President for Latin America in the IFCM (International Federation for Choral Music). A choir of people from all over the globe, thanks to technology, will sing, “Nada te turbe”, winner work of VoxPopuli category (Audience award, written by Carlos Cordero).
A virtual choir is formed by videos sent by individual singers who record themselves while singing their correspondent section of a selected choral work. The selected material is combined to create an audiovisual final product.
We are looking for individual singers representing all continents who can participate by submitting their own recordings for the first (I) and/or last part (III) of the song.
We are also looking for choirs exclusively from Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Russia, Turkey and United Kingdom, to participate singing the middle section (part II). These are the countries that had the biggest losses during World War I so that this action shall become a reminder of what we can do together for beauty and not for destruction.
The deadline for submitting their recordings is October 29th, 2018. The choirs for the middle part will be appointed and selected by IFCM .
The final audiovisual product, VoxPopuli Virtual Choir, to be made from all individual and choral recordings will be presented on December 7th (MegaSala Digital Movistar-Caracas) and globally spread through social media and websites.
On the 100th Anniversary of the official end of World War I, join us to give a message of peace. Be part of the power of choral singing to create concord in the world.
