On July 6th, 2011, Festival 500 Sharing the Voices will commence
another eight-day celebration of song in the historic city of St.
John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. With interactive
performances, workshops and masterclasses, the unsurpassed scenery,
culture and friendliness of our people make our Canadian province a
natural home for this internationally renowned non-competitive choral
experience.
Festival 500 is thrilled to announce the return of Finnish a cappella
ensemble RAJATON (www.rajaton.net/en/frontpage) as our headline guest
vocal group. They will be joined by a stellar roster of distinguished
guest clinicians including:
Grete Pedersen (Norway)
Kari Ala-Pöllänen (Finland)
Bob Chilcott (UK)
Fred Sjöberg (Sweden)
