Forever curious

                       We didn’t know how to sing in a vocal group.
                       So we started The Real Group. In 1984.

                       We didn’t know how to arrange a festival.
                       So we did it. In 2008.

                       We don’t know what the second festival experience
                       will be like. So let’s find out.

                       See you in August. In Stockholm.

                       Let’s stay curious forever.

Global concern

We will compensate for CO2 emissions by serving organic food, through a zero
balance program, by encouraging the use of tap water in re-cyclable bottles, and
by avoiding unnecessary printing.

Friday, Aug 17 2012                          After seeing a concert somebody once said:
23.00                                        “Perpetuum Jazzile is a vocal group in which music
Chinateatern                                 is actually the only thing the singers take seriously.”

                                             Well, perhaps there is some truth to that.
                                             In any case, Perpetuum Jazzile loves to give power-
                                             ful rhythms, rich harmonies and energetic sounds
                                             to their audiences all over the world.

                                             Since the beginning 29 years ago their repertoire
                                             has developed into a combination of vocal jazz and
                                             pop, Brazilian bossa nova, gospel and funk.

                                  In this course you will learn how to make a simple plan with positions on the stage
                                  for each part of a song.
                                  Such plans will come in very handy when you prepare for a performance.
                                  Sample position plans are available in the virtual classroom at the Real Academy.

                                  Based on the positions plan, record a video of a performance or a rehearsal and
                                  upload to the classroom.

                                  Then one of our teachers will take a look at the plan and the video and give feed-
                                  back to the group, followed by evaluation.

See website for latest updates:   We will listen to your studio recordings and give detailed feedback on how well the

                                  balance.
                                  There will also be some notes on the interpretation and arranging of the song since
                                  it has a crucial effect on the mixing.

                                  If you have questions regarding a specific issue you may include that when sending
                                  in the material. We prefer to receive the mix as an AAC 320 kbs file and the score, if
                                  available, as a pdf.

                                  Please note! No rehearsal recordings in this case (we have other virtual
                                  class-rooms for that).

                                          Vinther, joined 2008 and 2010. With their persona-

                                          a new sound and new influences to a group that
                                          continues to curiously look forward.

                                         Their song Butterfly put them on the international
                                         music map early in their career.

                                         Rajaton may be a pop group, or a world music

www.vocesnordicae.se                          Voces Nordicae is a ground-breaking classical choir
                                              who combine contemporary compositions with
                                              group improvisation.

                                              Voces Nordicae’s performance style is very flexible
                                              and communicative, due to Lone Larsen’s visions of
                                              a choir performance with maximum openness to
                                              expression that occurs in the moment.

www.vocalline.dk                          In 1991, Jens Johansen formed Vocal Line, with the
                                          goal of establishing rhythmic choir music as a
                                          concert genre on its own terms. The starting point
                                          was Nordic choir music mixed with pop, rock and
                                          jazz. Since then Vocal Line has become one of the
                                          most successful ”XXL vocal groups” in the world.

                                          within his field. He is associate professor in musi-

                                       - several titles apply to Sašo Vrabic.

                                       Artistic expression comes easily to Sašo.
                                       Talking about himself, however, does not.

                                       Sašo is probably the most humble professional
