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.

This program book will only be available in digital formats.
You save forests right now when you read this PDF on a screen,
and when you email it to a friend.

We also hope to raise funds for a school program in South Africa we believe in
strongly.
As ambassadors for Star For Life we urge you to take part in our donation
program.

                       On their debut album the five singers strive to explore the border between the
                       natural softness and vitality of the human voice and the uncompromising and
                       merciless roughness of electronic instruments.

Friday 16.00 - 17.30   Tine Fris from Postyr Project sings and presents vocal technique applied to vocal
                       group and choir singers.
Place: TBA             The seminar will begin with an introduction to Complete Vocal Technique.
                       Next we will sing a new 3-4 part arrangement of a catchy pop/rock song.
                       While singing we will explore how Complete Vocal Technique can be used in a
                       vocal group or a choir. The goal of the workshop is to give each singer more tools to
                       master the many expressions of the voice, and to give a group of people a common
                       language that can be used to make the communication about the musical expres-
                       sion easier, faster and more precise. Any specific questions related to Complete
                       Vocal Technique or vocal technique in general are more than welcome. Everybody
                       can join this workshop, but some experience in rehearsing with a choir or a vocal
                       group will be an advantage.

                         Panel discussion. Moderator: Jonathan Minkoff

Saturday 11.30 - 13.00   No matter if you are thinking of ”going pro” or just become a little bit more serious

                         How do you stand out as a group?
                         What can be done in social media?
                         How do you get in contact with promoters, and what makes them tick?

                                          touring around the world and 17 cds in their own
                                          name have built up a reputation of a group that
                                          combines perfection with a personal sound.
                                          Two new members, Emma Nilsdotter and Morten
                                          Vinther, joined 2008 and 2010. With their persona-
                                          lities and different backgrounds they have brought
                                          a new sound and new influences to a group that
                                          continues to curiously look forward.

                                          During 2012 Emma Nilsdotter is on maternity
                                          leave, replaced by Kerstin Ryhed Lundin.

                                                  belt. For over four decades, the unmistakable sound
                                                  of ”Swingle singing” has defined the art form:
                                                  virtuosic vocal agility and blend demonstrated
                                                  by their signature close-microphone technique,
                                                  combined with high-level entertainment. The latest
                                                  line-up represents the group’s transformation from

                                                  contemporary vocal super-group. Their repertoire
                                                  encompasses classical, jazz, Latin, pop and rock, all

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

                                         eight gold records in Finland to their credit.

                                         Rajaton may be a pop group, or a world music
                                         group, or a small classical choir — or maybe just as

                                               vocal group Vox 11. In October 2009 the five singers
                                               decided to take their passion for the delicacy of
                                               American singer-songwriters, the edge of electronic
                                               music and the evocative soundscapes of avantgarde
                                               pop to the next level by founding Postyr Project.
                                               The group released their debut album in May 2011,
                                               on which they explore the borderland between the
                                               softness and vitality of the human voice and the
                                               uncompromising roughness of electronic 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.

                                          Jens Johansen is one of the most requested teachers
                                          within his field. He is associate professor in musi-
