Message from Genevieve Boulanger

Musical Directrice of Anima Musica

Anima Musica′s musical repertoire is suited for singers having some musical and vocal experience. The choristers are amateurs interested in pursuing their musical development. The Anima Musica Choir presents a variety of musical programs, often thematic, influenced by different cultures and different periods in the history of music.

Impassioned as I am by the infinite musical palette offered in choral literature, I invite you to discover a repertoire that is less well known, to participate in varied musical experiences, and respond to the challenges of raising the musical bar together with the rest of the choir!

My role as musical director and conductor of the choir is to support the efforts of the singers, supply tools when the score requires it, to plan occasional work sessions by voice section, and use practice techniques that are appropriate for each musical passage.

In an atmosphere of cordial cooperation, in a group that is proud and happy to work in both English and in French, the music comes to life and remains a universal language.

The choristers are aware that the quality of the performance during our concerts depends on many factors, but mostly the effort and attention to musical detail. Together, Anima Musica′s choristers participate with pleasure and also with some serious effort to the construction of each concert.

My goal is that the performance of our choir, and of our invited soloists and instrumentalists, provides our faithful public a unique and significant artistic experience.
