XL Arts Inc. professional development summer project for 2019 will be an Introduction to singing in Russian. The course will begin on 29th January 2019 and concluding 2nd March 2019. We are delighted to have our course conducted by Russian Repertoire Specialist Alan Cook, and our Artistic Director Liane Keegan.

-
Creating your own transliterations
-
A guide to pronunciation
-
Group classes with an introduction to the Russian Language
-
Practical tuition in performance-based situations both in Art Song and Operatic Repertoire
The project will feature two performance events. The first featuring a concert of Russian Art Song. The second will feature a selection of staged opera scenes conducted by Alan Cook and directed by Liane Keegan.
