The musician, whose reputation is well established, had also composed one of the works for the coronation of Charles III at Westminster last May.
« We put one of our summer 2023 concerts on YouTube dedicated to works by Karl Jenkins, says Sylvie Hennion, a singer who recently joined this group which has existed since 1988. In September, the choir director was contacted to participate in a celebration of Karl Jenkins..
It’s a nice surprise and a source of pride. But it is also a responsibility. We started working a little more.
The Mosaïque Musicale Malouine choir, which has existed since the 1970s, has around forty members, but only twelve of them will go to New York. It was necessary to have availability, because this trip remains entirely at the expense of the participants.
Since September, the choir members have been meeting on Mondays to rehearse with everyone. On Thursday, the twelve starters meet together. There are two men (bass and tenor) and ten women (soprano and alto).
“We are like a delegation of the MMM choirconfides Sylvie Hennion. On stage in New York, we will be mixed with singers from all over the world. There will be around 200 of us on stage“.
Of course, the dress code is strict. Black outfit, no jewelry, flat shoes or very low heels. “We had to send our sizes to the organizersconfides Sylvie Hennion, because we will be placed in office”.
The 12 members of the Saint-Malo choir will fly to New York this Thursday, January 11. They will have three days of rehearsal before the big moment: Monday January 15, 2024, 6 p.m., Carnegie Hall in New York.
