Manda Wilderness Choir Festival
June 5, 5:00pm - Choir Festival in Cobue, Mozambique for the 16 surrounding villagesMay, 2010 - Musical masterclass sessions delivered in every villageLike in most African cultures, music in the Niassa District of Mozambique is an integral part of life; each village has between one and three choirs organized through local churches. However, the local people have had neither exposure to formal musical education nor a venue in which to perform their talents. MWCT is therefore seeking funding to deliver musical training and organize a choir festival to share the joy of music across sixteen Nyanja villages. Any size donation will be appreciated to enable this wonderful event. All Nyanja people, regardless of age, gender, or religion, will be grateful for your support!1. Village MasterclassesThe masterclass sessions will provide basic musical education to one choir in each of the sixteen villages of the Manda Wilderness Community Conservation Area. The sessions will be delivered in May with one day of musical training per village. Having background and experience in choral singing, conducting, and musical education I will administer the masterclass sessions as a volunteer for Manda Wilderness with the aid of a local translator.
