Performers and Collaborative Musicians (Toronto 2013)

Performers and Collaborative Musicians:

This form collects information from the members of the AIRS team who would volunteer to perform at one (or more) of the AIRS concerts or at Interludes in the program, or who are willing to share a song on other occasions during our 5th Annual AIRS Meeting.

 

Please indicate on the form if you would require a pianist and if you have made any arrangements yet. It will be necessary to provide copies of your music to the pianist well in advance. A guitarist may also be available.

 

Opportunity for brief rehearsal at UPEI will be provided.

 

In the interests of representing variety and enabling many persons to participate, the number of songs to be performed  would be limited for any one occasion (sadly, given the talent and knowledge represented).

 

If you are willing to accompany on piano (or other instrument)  please indicate this on the form.

 

Thanks to all who will contribute to the conference and midterm review in this important way.

Please describe your musical performance background, or interest (e.g., devoted folk singer for 20 years, particularly interested in Inuit music; or opera performer and educator,  or very interested in children's songs for over  15 years of experience teaching music education at the Unviersity level and observing practice teachers). Feel free to give examples of your performance experience or education.  Please indicate your voice type.   If you have a musical biography, feel free to copy and paste it in here.    
Please list  names  of pieces you would be prepared to perform as either solo (a cappella), with pianist or with yourself as pianist (or other instrument).   Please indicate the style (if easily described), the composer, the time for the performance,  It is likely that 7 minutes total will be the total performance time, but exceptions may be made.  Pieces between 2 to 4 minutes seem in the right range for these events.   As we are interested in music from different cultures, languages, and styles, training levels, your list could be in theory quite long.  You may choose up to 10 different  examples allowing us to come back to you in making the final choice.  If there are only one or two songs you would like to perform or teach that is fine.  Regarding teaching songs, please keep them (songs for participation) simple, or complex with a simple chorus or participation component.
Please indicate if you would require a pianist and if you have made any arrangements yet. It will be necessary to provide the pianist with your music well in advance. If AIRS identifies your pianist through this application process, we will provide contact information so you can communicate directly with that person.
If you are available as an accompanist, please complete this section, providing your instrument, contact information, and any expectations you will have of singers you accompany (communication, lead time for copies of music, etc)
Please type any questions or concerns or suggestions that you may have about this aspect of the program and your place within it.
