Absolute Vocem Ensemble in International Competition

Absolute Vocem Ensemble is a portuguese choir (selected to participate in 45th edition of Florilège Vocal de Tours, an International Coral Competition in France) that needs financial support (5000 euros for accomodation fees, till 5th February 2016). We believe that we can do a great deal in the competition due to our original vocal technique - Fio de Voz - based in Hindu mantras, applied to Westerm Vocal Music.

Absolute Vocem Ensemble is a recently formed portuguese choir that explores vocal soud production using an original technique - Fio de Voz, based in hindu mantras. This techinque is described in A Voz Absoluta, ser cada vez mais humano (The Absolute Voice, being increasingly human) writted by Carlos Meireles, the Musical Director of Absolute Vocem Ensemble.

 The group started his activities in the 9th Novembre 2016 and sent the live recording of the concert to the comission of FLorilége Vocal de Tours being selected to the competition (26 to 29 May).

We need financial support (5000 euros for accomodation fees, till 5th February 2016) so we can join the competition in May 2016.
