In Athens & Thessaloniki, Michael Shinn:
• Will teach Piano & Chamber Music Masterclasses - open to listeners
• Will meet with the professors of the Conservatory
• Will conduct an Information session open to the public and interested listeners that will include Q & A. Michael Shinn will talk about the criteria and conditions for admitting Greek music students to the Boston Conservatory, about the scholarships and study programs offered by the Boston Conservatory, but also about the advantages of the academic collaboration with the Philippos Nakas Conservatory and the transfer of educational units - credits that can reduce up to two years the studies in the U.S. for Greek students who wish to obtain a Bachelor of Music. The session will include issues about repertoire used at Boston Conservatory (Methods, Etudes, Pieces, Examination Programs etc).
• Will teach vocal lessons and masterclasses for classical song (Lied - opera), and Art song.
• Will meet with the professors of the Conservatory
• Will conduct workshops with the subjects "Audition Techniques" and "Acting for Singers".
- Prepare for professional and semi-professional auditions and engagements. Students are expected to expand their audition and performance repertoire, compile professional materials, hone their artistic skills, and begin to clearly articulate their career goals.
- Ways to perceive, unlock, and practice the full potential of music and drama by training students to effectively absorb a script or lyrics, to develop a character by building on material in the words and musical score, and to provide an array of tools to act believably. Unlike a standard acting workshop, it is concerned with the specific dramatic techniques used by performers faced with the task of singing and acting at the same time.
The events are open to the public.
