Vocal Auditions 2023

CALL FOR AUDITIONS

for Alto-Mezzo, Tenor and Bass-Baritone singers

La Capella Reial de Catalunya

JORDI SAVALL

The YOCPA project, Young Orchestra and Choir Professional Academies, is a program led by the International Ancient Music Centre (CIMA Foundation) and co-funded by the European Union. The project is about giving training and working opportunities to new generations of musicians, supporting them to reach the professional concert scene in Europe. The program combines the pedagogical work of professional experts (teachers) with the learning experience of emerging musicians (students) through academies that take place face to face and online.

During the period 2023-2024, we plan to work around the composers Haydn, Schumann, and Mendelssohn, among others. The chosen candidates in these vocal auditions will have the opportunity to participate in projects with La Capella Reial de Catalunya, conducted by Jordi Savall. The expert responsible for the pedagogical direction and the selection process of the vocal auditions will be Lluís Vilamajó.
