Yodeling in the choir

Marco Beltrani and Nadja Räss are rehearsing an exciting program with jutz.ch for the 10th European Youth Choir Festival Basel (EJCF) between 4 and 8 May, with a special focus on performance. Young singers or yodelers who are used to performing as soloists or in ambitious choirs are cordially invited to immerse themselves in the Swiss yodelling tradition as part of this project. Anyone between the ages of 16 and 24 who is interested is invited to audition in December. The program, which lasts around 40 minutes, will be rehearsed from January to April 2016.
The jutz.ch project choir will sing the entire program by heart. Small choreographies will be rehearsed during the rehearsals.
The costs for accommodation and meals during the rehearsal weekends and the festival in Basel are covered. Travel expenses are borne by the singers.

Participation in the EJCF, the renowned meeting of the best European youth choirs, is a unique opportunity for ambitious singers from the classical choir scene and the folk music scene.
Singing teachers are therefore asked to make their students aware of this offer. The deadline for registration is October 31, registration is handled online: www.ejcf.ch/projekt-jodelchor
