Global Spring: Global Choir & The Big Sing
Global Choir – for friends from near and far.
The Big Sing is a free community singing event open to all ages and areas of our community. Come and join in an uplifting singing experience spontaneously led by Merzi Rajala and Global Choir through rhythmic choir conducting techniques. Together with Global Choir and guest groups, the conducting students from Global Choir Leadership will invite everybody to join and sing and fill the hall with sound and joy. No previous singing experience needed.
The multicultural choir welcomes all people interested in vocal music from around the world to a relaxed early evening concert. The concert will feature collaboratively arranged songs that the singers have brought from their own aesthetics, such as Tanzania, Georgia, Nepal, Russia, Argentina, Taiwan, Brasil, Estonia and Iran. Global Choir is open to all students of the Sibelius Academy, performing music based on diverse vocal aesthetics, melodies and rhythmic traditions from around the world.
In the concert the audience is also invited to Open Singing moment, joining voices to the music of the moment, lead by Global Choir Leadership students. The choir is led by Merzi Rajala.
