This holiday is designed to offer a deep dive into the diverse vocal techniques applied in Les Misérables and is perfect for singers who wish to explore a new vocal style, such as learning a more contemporary sound or a contemporary singer looking to enhance their legit style.
Set in our luxurious villa in Spain, this 6 day / 7 night singing holiday is led by industry professionals including the Associate Director of Les Misérables, and Musical Director Leigh Stanford Thompson who has worked extensively on Les Mis and Miss Saigon. Along with a vocal tech expert this A-team will provide over 30 hours of singing tuition and performance rehearsal, including a Masterclass and Workshop with Associate Director Sam Hiller – who has just directed the brand new UK arena tour.
The week will combine group coaching and 1-to-1 assessment using the esteemed Estill vocal training method. The week will finish with a live concert to an invited private audience.
Nestled on the Southern Spanish coast, you’ll have ample time to soak up the spring sun on local beaches, or explore the mountainous Spanish countryside. This holiday is perfect for modern and classical choir members, musical theatre enthusiasts, hobby singers and Les Mis fans!
