She is the chief conductor of the children’s and girls’ choirs of the Estonian Radio and the St Michael’s Boys’ Choir, and sings in the Gregorian chant ensemble Vox Clamantis and the sacred music group Heinavanker. Kadri Hunt is also active as a composer and an arranger. She has recorded more than 30 CD-s and has made recordings for several European radios.
Leading the following workshop in EUROPA CANTAT Pécs:
Children usually come to choir rehearsals after long schooldays. So the first task of the conductor is to draw the attention of the tired young singers, to „wake them up“, to motivate. During this lecture I will suggest some possibilities of trying some new approaches to make the choir rehearsals „fresh“. Could we encourage the singers to use their phantasy there, perhaps to combine the use of the voice with physical movements or make use of instruments that our singers might study? Let us try to phantasize and play with music together!
