The Art of A Cappella: A Choral Masterclass
5 July 2023 | 7:00PM | Hobart Town Hall
Join former King’s Singer Tim Wayne-Wright to master the art of a cappella singing!
“There is no purer expression of music-making than the human voice laid bare, unaccompanied. In this masterclass, I’ll delve into the techniques that need to be developed for vocal ensembles to really grow and improve. Topics such as how to tell a story and ways to communicate with the audience in the most genuine and honest way. Techniques surrounding balance, blend and vowel sounds will also be explored. I’ll be looking to the audience to be ‘active listeners’ during this masterclass – offering feedback to the singers as we work through repertoire. I am super excited about working with both Festival Statesmen and ThylaSing, taking their performances to an even higher level!” – Tim Wayne-Wright

Tim loves the opportunity to adjudicate choral competitions and to coach choirs of all sizes, taking great pleasure from working with musicians of all ages and ability. He is the founder of The A Cappella Academy and enjoys travelling globally to spend time with singers, helping them to master the craft of performance. In March 2021, he emigrated to New Zealand with his Kiwi wife and two children. Tim is absolutely thrilled to now call Aotearoa home and delighted to be collaborating with so many wonderful performers across the country.
We are delighted to welcome Tim back to Hobart in 2023.
