Aarhus Vocal Festival - Day 4 - May 14, 2006

It's all coming to an end - Jens Johansen starts the closing concert
ceremony

Roger Treece shows us all what the participants of the 3 day "Soul,
Grooves, and Circles" workshop.
Roger, the only other American in attendance besides myself, used
a pitch pipe to start off the singers.
The one thing I noticed about every other group here is that they
all use tuning forks, not the pitch pipes or
electronic tone generators we use in North America.

A quick photo op with Apes and Babes before they head back to
Norway.

Denmark's Vocapella closed the festival in style - great jazz
harmonies, lots of groove,
and even a rockin' vocal guitar solo sung through a kiddie toy
microphone!

As usually happens when the official buildings close, people hang
around and sing outside
for a bit. 5 countries represented in this informal circle - this
is what it's all about!

It's been a great 4 days! Congratulations to Jens,
Henrik, and Svend for putting on such an amazing event!
