The Feral Choir

The Feral Choir is a series of vocal workshops with non-professionals conducted by vocalist and composer Phil Minton since the late 1980s. It originated after his workshops for "non-singers" at the Musik Centrum Stockholm in Sweden and became a recurring project. Feral Choir is typically organized as a three-day workshop leading up to a performance, with open participation for anyone, regardless of experience or musical background. Over the years, Minton conducted Feral Choir sessions at AngelicA festival in Bologna, Dundee Contemporary Arts in the UK, High Zero Festival in Baltimore, USA, Centre for Performance Research in Cardiff, Musickzentrum Munich, City Festival Lausanne, Institute for Living Voice Antwerp, and numerous other prestigious venues and institutions in Germany, Japan, France, Great Britain, Australia, Brazil, Spain, Italy, Norway, Netherlands, Switzerland, and Poland.
