EMS Vocal Ensembles
The EMS vocal ensembles run for the young people of Essex at weekends,
during half terms and in the summer holiday, when the Young Singers have a course followed by a Concert Tour.
Janette has established four levels of choral ensemble provision for Essex
Music Services.
Please use the following page links for information about each choir:
Each group has its own workshops and concerts. At least twice a year they all get together to form a joint concert; this normally occurs on the second Saturday of half term in October and May.
Commissioned Piece
In 2008 Janette commissioned Pictures of Night a piece for the Beginner Choir,
Training Choir and Young Singers - from the Colchester-based composer Dr Alan Bullard. The work was premièred at Colchester Institute on May 1st 2008.
The Vocal Ensembles Team
Janette has built a team of skilled accompanists and conductors to work
with each group. From time to time teachers from Essex schools are invited to attend a workshop to work with one of the choirs.
