After the resounding success of last year’s Italian Song Workshop with the dynamic Edoardo Materassi, the Kyogle Semitones are delighted to announce that he will be returning on February 28 this year.

All singers and choristers and from the region, present or past or just aspiring, are warmly invited to come and join in, to share in his charismatic and inspiring instruction. Participants will take part in the preparation of beautiful Renaissance madrigal, O Primavera by Claudio Monteverdi, which will be available to download on registration, as well as some of his own works.

Eduardo will also work on two charming Italian songs with the Semitones. Registrees are invited to attend the Semitones rehearsal on Friday 16 February at the Kyogle Memorial Institute Hall 11am – 12.30pm to familiarise themselves with those.

There is also a three-day workshop with Edoardo in Byron Bay, 1–3 March, information at  www.thecreateescape.co, but it is a considerable coup for the Semitones and Director Fiona Kerr to have again tempted the maestro away from the coast out to Kyogle. He must have been impressed with the talent and enthusiasm displayed at last year’s workshop.

The workshop will be held at the Kyogle Public School Hall (corner of Summerland Way and Stratheden Street) from 11am –1pm. Admission is $40 (cash only) at the door.
