"I have never experienced a summer program this focused, interesting, uplifting, and well run. The range of classes, concerts, and lectures was stellar"

Welcome to VISI 2010, the interdisciplinary institute for training, performance innovation, and research in Art Song and other genres. VISI offers a summer nexus for collaborative study and projects among performers, teachers of Art Song, poets, composers, musicologists, translators, actors, directors, scholars and researchers in arts, humanities, social science, music neuroscience, and music therapy. VISI is also a gathering place for song-lovers and listeners who can attend classes, workshops, and concerts. If you are new to our Institute, we invite you to discover its mandate and programs at www.songinstitute.ca
For our members and past attendees looking for new program announcements, our re-constructed website is now launched with information about our June programs and events, with many more event details to be posted in the coming months.
Our professionally-oriented Study programs for the June 2010 session include:
The Theatre of Art Song/Collaborative Studies
Song Musicology Mentorship
Pedagogy of Art Song Retreat for Teachers of Voice and Collaborative Piano - "Teaching Art Song from the Inside Out"
Research projects in Music Cognition
Music Therapy Symposium
Special topics for the 2010 session include "The Romantic Self" - Schumann and his Legacy; Surrealism and French Mélodie; Songs of Samuel Barber; Dynamics of Collaborative Partnership.
The Theatre of Art Song/Collaborative Piano Studies faculty includes François LeRoux, Rosemarie Landry, Cameron Stowe, Kenneth Griffiths, and Julie Simson joining a large roster of internationally acclaimed musicians, directors, and scholars. The dynamic New Triad for Collaborative Arts will also be in Residence, through a generous grant from the Sorel Organization.
The Musicology Mentorship is guided by Dr. Benjamin Binder, musicologist and collaborative pianist from Duquesne University, and a forum of scholars including Dr. Richard Kurth and Barbara Heyman.
The Pedagogy Retreat will feature Professor Scott McCoy, President of NATS, with an array of distinguished artists and scholars across many fields of interest related to Art Song interpretation, performance practice, and pedagogy.
If you are a member of the Listening Community VISI welcomes you to attend our many masterclasses and lectures. As well, our customized programs for the general public include some "how-to" workshops in diverse vocal traditions, a Music Therapy Symposium, and a Choral Adventure weekend. Please see the Masterclass and Symposia pages on our website for more information.
Applications are online for the university training programs (theatre, collaborative piano, musicology). Registration forms for other programs will be online in March.
VISI is delighted to announce SONGFIRE, a month-long festival of Song in Vancouver from late May through June in collaboration with City Opera, Turning Point Ensemble, Elektra Women's Choir, Erato Art Song Ensemble, Silk Purse Music Society, Dunbar Heights United Church Music Society, and others. Our Festival brochure will be posted in May.
Plan a VISI Vacation to suit your interests and schedule, and join us for classes and conversations about Song, the Audible Soul of emotion and experience across all boundaries of time and culture.
