Children’s Choir CCM seeks fresh singing talents
The Macao Cultural Centre is looking for young voices to join its Children’s Choir in the coming year. Applications are now open to children aged 8 to 16, interested in exploring their singing skills and musical culture. Auditions will take place at the end of December. For more than a decade, children have been introduced to the world of music through choral practices, music appreciation and performances. These ranged from a special onstage appearance with Bobby McFerrin to an international collaboration with the French Saint Marc’s Children’s Choir. Most recently, CCM’s young voices have presented a mini-concert combining theatrical expression and body movement at the ARTmusing Fun. Besides these performing moments, choir members have also been active in community oriented events and environmental projects. All these activities are planned to boost children’s musical and interpersonal skills through a diversity of concerts and events. CCM Children’s Choir provides musical practice, with classes in Cantonese (complemented with English) happening on a weekly basis, every Sunday from 11am to 1pm. Application forms should be submitted by December 22 (7 pm) at the Macao Cultural Centre or any Macao Ticketing Network counter. Candidates will be individually notified of audition times, scheduled for December 27 and 28, 2016. Monthly fees will cost MOP200 and must be settled each semester.
