Sri Lanka Choral Week

The Sri Lankan Choral Week has been set up in order to attract singers from around the world to share musical experience in rehearsing and performing the immense beauty of Johann Sebastian Bach´s St. John Passion in the idyllic surroundings of Sri Lanka. The performance will take place in the magnificent Cathedral of Christ the Living Saviour in Colombo on the Saturday prior to Palm Sunday. It will include the Baroque ensemble of the Chamber Music Society of Colombo, Sri Lankan soloists and will be conducted by Gregory Rose, an established conductor based in London. This will be an unique experience for all those involved; a week of joyous music making. Over the week, each visiting singer will receive singing lessons from an experienced singer and teacher. Alison Wells and Gregory Rose will hold conducting masterclasses during the evening for a small group of student conductors, assisted by a group of players from the Chamber Music Society of Colombo. The choral rehearsals will be accompanied by an experienced local repetiteur
