Welcome to Music Week at Snöå Bruk outside Dala Järna.
If you are a skilled choral singer, a good sight-reader and able to work at a fast tempo, you are welcome to participate. The week starts on Saturday December 28th at 5 pm with dinner. We will begin rehearsing that same evening. The week ends after breakfast on Jan 4.
Richard Cooke will be leading the choir as always with Richard Pearce at the piano.
The programme this year will be:
(*) Durante's Magnificat was earlier thought to be composed by Pergolesi. If you have copy of Magnificat with Pergolesi on it as the composer it can be used.
We will work with this music during the week with a concert in Dala Järna church on January 3rd at 6PM. In addition to the singing, the activities also include soirées and night cafés where we socialize and entertain ourselves with different performances each night.
On New Year’s Eve we have a big celebration party.
The accommodation is still in rooms of varying sizes with two, three or four beds. The two-bed rooms are limited and come with an extra cost of SEK 400 per person. You need to apply specifically for one of those in the registration form if you are interested.
The fees cover lodging, including bed linen and towels, full board, the New Year party and after-concert dinner. Drinks are not included.
We will organise bus transport between Borlänge and Snöå. It will cost approximately SEK 350 return ticket. Departure Borlänge Dec 28 at 14.30 to match trains arriving to Borlänge just before 14.00. The bus will departure from Snöå on Jan 4 to match trains leaving Borlänge just before 12.00.
We are always interested in younger singers attending our weeks and we have set a lower price for this category. If our youth participation fee still is too high for you, you may apply for a subsidy. Benevolent member donations can enable those who apply for a subsidy to share our fund and get up to SEK 1500 to offset part of the fee. The amount each applicant will receive is dependent on the size of the fund and the number of applicants. To apply, you need to fulfill these criteria:
Your application should be sent, along with your registration, in the info box provided or as a separate email to anm@mwis.se. Please feel welcome to apply!
If you like to give financial help to youth participants coming to our week, we would be very grateful to receive any donations you feel able to make in order to reduce their fees. Pay any amount to our account and mark it clearly "Youth fund". If you have a company that wants to sponsor this by a mention in the concert programme, we'll handle that. But we do need your donation before registration deadline Nov 15.
Please register via the web form by November 15th.
Please pay your fee by Dec 1.
