Since 2011, an a cappella Masterclass (previously known as the a cappella Workshop) has been held every year for the vocal groups competing in the International a cappella Contest Leipzig. The masterclass gives the young entrants a chance to perfect aspects such as their repertoire, technique and stage presence with an a cappella expert. As well as working with a professional singer and experienced teacher, it’s also an opportunity for them to share tips with other participants and learn from each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Since the masterclass isn’t restricted to competition entrants, members of the public can also attend and acquire valuable hints and fascinating insights about working as a vocal ensemble.

For the fourth time now, in 2021 the a cappella Masterclass will be held by Stephen Connolly. A member of the Kings’ Singers from the UK for more than 20 years, in 2008 he set up the International A Cappella School offering a wide range of courses for choir singers.

Admission free.
