Sydney Philharmonia doesn’t just put on concerts.
A workshop for all voices using English and Irish folk song, this one-day workshop will be a great vocal health check and recharge, away from the complexity of choral singing.
An opportunity for you to explore what is beautiful tone and what factors can compromise it with two experienced singing teachers.
With a focus on vocal technique that improves tone quality this day long workshop will look at:
Vocal tutors: Lanneke Wallace-Wells (Song Company) and Lisa Nolan
Lanneke Wallace-Wells
Since graduating from UNSW with a Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Education with Music Performance Honours, Lanneke has established herself as a professional singer and teacher in both classical and contemporary music styles. Lanneke joined the prestigious Song Company as Mezzo-Soprano in 2009. They have recently toured to China and joined leading Australian artists as part of Expo in June 2010. In addition to this, Lanneke has become involved in conducting choral ensembles in recent years. In 2010 she conducted the choir for Mary MacKillop’s Feast Day mass at St Mary’s North Sydney presided by Cardinal Pell and the Sisters of St Joseph.
Lanneke has a continuing interest in Vocal Pedagogy, and has been researching varied methods and styles of singing teaching for many years. Her experience in both fields of Classical and Jazz music has given her a broad understanding of the vocal challenges faced by singers today, whatever the style.
Sydney Philharmonia is really delighted to welcome Lanneke as an education program tutor. We are sure that all singers joining the August workshop will enjoy her dynamic teaching style and will gain a lot from the experience.
Lisa Nolan
Lisa Nolan’s first career in the arts was as a classical singer. After initial training in music, voice, acting and languages she spent 4 years in Paris working with leading vocal coaches and specialising in French Melodie repertoire. She won several scholarships to participate in advanced training in France and the UK and went on to sustained professional engagements as a singer in Australia and the UK including the Australian Opera & Song Company, Pavilion Opera, Aldeburough Festival, Opera South. She has always had a great love of the artsong repertoire and commitment to collaborating with composers on new works.
Lisa became increasingly active as a singing teacher from 1993, and worked in specialist music schools and theatre schools in London and was twice assistant to the Head of Singing at the Guildhall School of Music, Noelle Barker, in summer courses at Fontainbleau. Singing teacher positions included City of London School for Girls and recently Wollongong Conservatorium of Music.
Her engagement in singing pedagogy and language coaching has been sustained in parallel with her second career in cultural research and arts management.
Lisa is the new General Manager of the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs.
