Soul sisters is for all women who want’s to sing in a gospel choir. Here we explore and express the different sides of being a woman through music and songs. We find our inner soul sister - and cultivate sister solidarity together. Soul Sisters has been a hit since we first had it on the program.

Module 1

Teacher: Georg Weilguny

Men: we invite you to sing in a gospel choir - with no women. The style and feeling is the same as in the traditional gospel choir, but the sound of an all male choir is unique! You will be in the capable hands of Austria's mr. Gospel – the one and only: Georg Weilguny

Module 1

Underviser: Sofie Hermind

Journey back to the roots. Experience gospel singing through the lens of the African tradition—where voice, rhythm, movement and spirit are inseparable.

Through West African drum patterns, body percussion, easy dance movements, and powerful vocal harmonies, we reconnect with the tribal origins of gospel expression and sing together in circle formations where every voice matters, every body belongs. We will sing, dance, drum and just have a lot of fun in together. Remember that our voices were never meant to sing alone—we were made for the circle, for the drum, for the collective heartbeat.

Module 1

Teacher: Hanjo Gäbler

Every gospel director has her or his own style. In this workshop you will get input from Hanjo Gäbler – he will share his thoughts and concepts, and he will help you find your own style! In this workshop we will work with the practical aspects of leading a choir: how to teach, how to lead and how to conduct. We will also work with storytelling, dynamics... and much more. You also need to know about leadership, so we will share and learn from each other. This workshop is for people who already work as a choir director. (A similar workshop is led by Don Grigg in module 3. You can be a part of both workshops since they will be very different = more inspiration for you to take home.)

Hans Christian has been one of Europe's most productive and widely used gospel composers for 30 years. In this module we will explore both new and older songs written by him – together with him. He is best known for his sensitive ballads, but he also has a long list of funky gospel songs in his backpack. Mayby some of “My songs” will become Your songs too!

Join Didier in this journey through the history of gospel music. Starting with the roots of the music in Africa and following the style of gospel music develop into what gospel music has become today! Didier is from Camaron, and he will provide an unique experience!

Module 2

Teacher: Sofie Hermind & Georg Weilguny

Lots of bling, lots of choreography and tons of star moments. We work all week to create a fabulous show choir performance for Friday night. Everyone finds their inner star, and together we make each other and the gospel songs shine brightly. We sing both as a choir and in smaller groups, if you like - we learn magical songs that are tied together by a story, train physicality and movements for the songs and focus on how we get into the heart and beyond the edge of the stage - as one big joint Show Choir.

Module 2

Teacher: Carla Jane

In this class we will work as a small choir. We will work on the personal responsibility that each singer has, when you don’t have the support of a big choir. We will work on sound, expression, dynamics and many other things that are needed in a smaller setting.

Choir without any musical accompaniment other than beats (rhythms). When we sing a capella there is more room in the music to fine-tune the voices and harmonies. By combining with programmed beats the songs get a stronger rhythm and a more modern expression. This is a module where your voice is very important. DJ Claes W will be your guide into this world of beats and a capella singing!

Teacher: Sarah Moshage

How is singing technique and our body connected? That's what we will explore together. Through different and funny exercises you will discover how much the body already knows about singing technique! If you like to experiment and doing things in new ways, you will absolutely love this concept Sarah has created for you!

Module 3

Teacher: Lene Nørrelykke

Here you will learn the basic principles of singing technique. Based on "Complete singing technique" (developed by Cathrine Sadolin), we work with some of the challenging singing technique problems we encounter when singing in choirs. Lene has worked in the area of vocal technique and gospel music for many years, and she will teach you things about your voices that you never knew about.
