What Is A Big Sing?
The choruses of the Associated Male Choruses of America join forces in a festival of singing called a "Big Sing" each year! A host chorus (with guidance from a District or International Committee) plans the Big Sing. Chorus come together for comraderie, support, and learning. Clinicians are invited to listen to and work with choruses. Choruses listen to each other; new music materials are presented and sung in reading sessions; various workshops are presented to assist choruses in the own performances; choruses present their own solo selections. Finally, the choruses rehearse together and join in a festival concert with ALL the choruses singing together.
There usually is "social" time incorporated in the day(s) for singers and their "supporters" and a final "social" (usually called an "afterglow") may cap the Big Sing activities after all the formal events have taken place. Choruses will usually sing their "lighter" selections for each other and many of these social/singing gatherings continue far into the night.
(There are usually no competitions/ratings between choruses except in a "friendly" sort of way. No one is designated a "winner" or a "loser".)
On April 25 & 26, 2008, Choruses from the Upper Midwest District of AMCA and the Wisconsin Upper Michigan District of AMCA will join together in a "Multi-District" Big Sing 2008 in Eau Claire. The Eau Claire Male Chorus is "hosting" this event and invites the "public" to share in the Final "Festival" Concert of Big Sing 2008 on Saturday Evening, 7PM, in the Zorn Arena at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire.
The final concert will include music performances by all the choruses singing together and music performances by selected individual choruses. [Order your tickets early since the event promises to be a "sell out"!]
