For the third week of July, the Cabildo has a new proposal: the first Campamento Coral de Tenerife (Choir Camp). It is about sharing a few days led my music teachers from Florida, Spain and Portugal. The camp is open to everyone who is interested in enjoying themselves while polishing their singing, choral conducting, and piano techniques.      

The camp is organized by the Escuela Coral de Tenerife, which is part of the Tenerife Artes Escénicas del Cabildo (Performing Arts Scheme) and takes place from 16 to 21 July at IES La Laboral in La Laguna. The programme, which has been designed with the island school choirs in mind, includes classes, rehearsals, masterclasses and joint performances.

The camp is open to children and young adults aged from 8 to 25, piano advanced students wishing to train as accompanying pianists, people with an interest in choral conducting (choir members, music teachers, musicians, conductors, etc). Thus, the camp will be divided in four groups: choir students aged from 8 to 15; another group for the aged from 15 to 25; piano students; people interested in choral conducting.

The music teachers for the Campamento Coral de Tenerife are Cara Tasher, Director of Choral Studies at the University of North Florida; Portuguese Paulo Vassalo Lourenço, doctor in Choral Conducting from the University of Cincinnati/College-Conservatory of Music; Esther Andueza, pianist and Head of the Department of Repertoire and Singing at the Conservatorio Profesional Arturo Soria in Madrid; and Basilio Astulez, teacher of Choral Singing at the Conservatorio Municipal de Leioa in the Basque Country.
