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.

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!
