With their ears pricked up, the participants go through the Elbphilharmonie and capture exciting sounds with their microphone. What sounds can you find in the concert hall when no concerts are being performed? With a tablet together with an app, the participants record sound snippets which they can later edit and arrange into a short piece of music.

Jazz is a fascinating genre of music that represents a special attitude to life for many fans. Moreover, jazz is accessible to anyone. The famous pianist Herbie Hancock says, »Jazz has an inclusive spirit,« and that applies to the workshop »Kosmos Jazz« as well: participants don’t need any musical knowledge; they get to know some typical jazz instruments in a relaxed atmosphere, have the chance to try them out, and play their first piece of jazz together at the end.

The SACRA/PROFANA Summer Choral Intensive, created by San Diego’s leading professional chamber choir and co-sponsored by San Diego State University, aims to equip students entering grade 7 through high school graduates of 2026 with a high-level choral experience. Students in the program will rehearse and perform challenging choral repertoire, attend music theory classes, hear from guest speakers such as local professors and professional musicians, and benefit from group sectionals with a professional of their specific voice type. The week culminates in a final performance featuring choral works rehearsed during the program. SCI will be led by SACRA/PROFANA’s Artistic Director, Juan Carlos Acosta, San Diego State University Associate Professor of Music/Director of Choral Studies, Dr. Arian Khaefi and Point Loma Nazarene University Professor of Music/Choral Director, Dr. Keith Pedersen.

Join us for a day of singing, learning and vocal discovery with The Sixteen’s Choral Workshops for Wellbeing. These relaxed and welcoming workshops are designed for singers who want to enjoy making music together while also learning more about how to care for their voice.

The day begins with an introduction to vocal health before moving into singing. After a guided warm-up, participants spend the morning working on choral repertoire together, led by The Sixteen’s Associate Conductor Eamonn Dougan with members of The Sixteen Charlotte Mobbs (Vocal Habilitation Professional) and Julie Cooper (Nutritional Therapist). Through practical rehearsal and ensemble singing, you’ll explore beautiful repertoire while developing confidence, technique and vocal awareness.

Following a lunch break, the afternoon explores how wellbeing supports great singing. Sessions on nutrition and vocal care offer practical insights into how breathing, posture, diet and overall health can support your voice. The day then returns to singing, with further repertoire work and a final run-through to bring the music together.
