EV'AMU - The Vocal Ensemble of Aix-Marseille Université

Aix-Marseille Université and the Festival d'Aix have joined forces in 2019 to create EV'AMU, a vocal ensemble open to AMU students and staff.
Directed by Philippe Franceschi, this vocal ensemble offers students and staff who already have a musical and vocal practice to develop a good level of amateur practice.
Aix-Marseille Université and the Festival d'Aix wish to ensure that EV'AMU's musical quality progresses over time and that the artistic ambitions of this ensemble grow.

EV'AMU gives voice to the 2020-21 season!
EV'AMU, the Vocal Ensemble of Aix-Marseille University, created in 2020 in partnership with the Festival of Aix-en-Provence, is composed of about twenty amateur singers of a good level. This season, it will propose an A cappella programme, taken from the Renaissance repertoire, with a contemporary piece for choir and instrumental ensemble, commissioned by the Festival. This concert will be presented as part of the Festival d'Aix en Juin and the Voix de Silvacane, an annual meeting around the voice and vocalities, in La Roque d'Antheron and in Marseille.

At the beginning of June, EV'AMU will renew for the second consecutive year a polyphonic morning stroll in the historical courtyards of the city of Aix-en-Provence (Maynier d'Oppède, Town Hall, Granet Museum...).
At the beginning of July, the ensemble will also take part in the creation of Alexandros Markéas' Symphony of the 7th continent in Marseille alongside OSAMU and DANSE'AMU. The ensemble will be asked to perform in several other events during the academic year...

The specificity of EV'AMU is to present its program by heart in order to invest vocally and physically various places and to make its youth and its enthusiasm radiate to a varied public".

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY MUSICAL EXPERIENCE BUT YOU WANT TO SING!

>> Sign up for :

• Body and Voice workshops led by Tania Zolty. Built like thematic walks through the repertoire, these workshops will help you discover opera and test your voice in all its colours. They will not only focus on collective and individual practice, but also on an encounter with the artistic universes linked to opera (the body, the voice, the stage) through the 2020 Festival d'Aix program.
• CHORAMU directed by Patrick Luppi. The AMU Choir brings together students, teachers and administrative staff of Aix-Marseille University. The atmosphere is friendly and musically demanding.
