Kära sångare och festivaldeltagare!
Det är en ren glädje att se fram mot att dela några dagar med er. Tio år har gått sedan vi ordnade en festival i Stockholm.
Det är dags att göra det igen.
I skrivande stund ser världen ganska mörk ut, med vidriga krig i Europa och i andra världsdelar. En pandemi är fortfarande en del av vår vardag, och vi lever ständigt med risken för kollaps av de ekosystem som är en förutsättning för livet på jorden.
– Borde vi sjunga?
– Ja!
Låt oss påminna varandra om mänsklighetens förmåga till varmhjärtat engagemang. Låt oss komma samman för att dela vår kreativitet och en känsla av hopp, som ett konstruktivt initiativ och reaktion på dystra bilder i den dagliga nyhetsrapporteringen. Att sjunga tillsammans är ett urgammalt och påtagligt sätt att manifestera sammanhållning och icke-hierarkiska former för samverkan. Vi vill ge plats för många olika röster. Låt oss ha kul tillsammans och tända en gnista
Välkommen till The Real Group Festival 2022!
/Katarina Henryson, festivalchef

Stockholm
SVERIGES HUVUDSTAD

Four festivaldagar, fyra olika platser: Södra Teatern, Dieselverkstaden, Rival och Eric Ericsonhallen. Var och en av dessa platser har sin särskilda atmosfär, historia och kulturella betydelse.
The Real Group bildades 1984 i Stockholm, en stad där Östersjön möter Mälaren; där saltvatten möter sötvatten. Vår musik har hämtat inspiration från många olika sorters musik – men vårt hem och utgångspunkt har alltid varit Stockholm.
Stadens och förortens olika livsstilar lifestyles gör dagens Stockholm till en multi-kulturell miljö. Under de fyra dagarna av The Real Group Festival 2022 får du se olika sidor av Stockholm, när vi utforskar olika sorters uttryck, repertoar och kreativitet inom a cappella-musiken.
Låt det roliga börja!

LEADERSHIP FOR CO-CREATION

webinar för vokalgrupper och körledare
Sandra Feketija
7:e juni
15:00 – 17:00 CET
Rotated initiative and teamwork leadership has played a major role in the development of The Real Group since the beginning in 1984. A variety of musical styles in the group’s repertoire, as well as diversity of personal expressions as a source of group sound and identity are some of the results of this model.
Leadership for co-creation is an online course at The Real Group Academy. Participants get four webinars plus access to video tutorials and other materials in an online classroom.
In the first session on June 7th , festival pass owners are welcome to participate for free. In this two-hour webinar, we will give an introduction to various topics, such as:
- How can you inspire and invite singers to rotated initiative and teamwork leadership in your own vocal group or choir?
- How is it possible to give each group member a say-so in decision-making for your group, without getting stuck in “consensus in absurdum”, and while still maintaining a direction forward in your activities?

13:00 – 14:00 CET
During the pandemic, vocal ensembles have had to learn how to use online tools. Apparently, an essential element is missing when we do not meet in person. Still, there are parts of a learning process that can be done with the aid of online tools.
HyFlex learning (flexibility in hybrid) is a singer-centered model that integrates three components: learning-in-a-room together, online video conference sessions, and content accessed by individual singers when they prefer.
In this session, Jim Daus Hjernøe will show you concrete examples of HyFlex learning for vocal groups, choirs and choir leaders, for the purpose of saving time for music-making in the moment when we are together, and for creative musical development.
You need to register in advance to this webinar. The registration link is sent to you after purchase of the festival pass. If you wish to attend this webinar but don’t have a festival pass, then you can purchase a separate ticket to the webinar in our shop.

The main acts will be the amazing groups REIGN and Rilton´s Vänner (“Rilton´s friends”) – we can assure you that you will be as well.

After an intense day of workshops at Dieselverkstaden (“Diesel factory” in English – which may sound like a name from the 1900s, which it is) we are happy to give you an equally intense concert evening with the instant music RAMA Corner collective that has developed during the day with the guidance of Jim Daus Hjernøe.
The night will offer the results of possible internal affairs that might have developed during the course of the day but it will definitely give you at least 30 minutes with the Stockholm group Vocal Brand.
The evening will end with our Danish guests Syng Selected bringing down the hall under the expertise of Morten Vinther. Some Danish bounce just might happen.

Some of us may never forget the concerts at The Real Group Festival in Stockholm ten years ago. The energy still lingers on and you will recognize some voices from that time. You will also get to know some new singers. What could be better?
The Real Group 2.0, Latvian Voices and Shipsea, Rajaton and the Swingles will perform two concerts with a similar format but different repertoire. Which means you will hear all four groups and Shipsea at the 16 o´clock concert as well as at the 20 o´clock concert.
The concert venue as well as the hotel Rival is owned by ABBA´s Benny Andersson whatever that means. It is worth mentioning though.

Eric Ericsonhallen is a special place for vocal music named after Sweden´s most famous choral conductor. The concert is done in collaboration with Eric Ericson International Choral Centre. This concert hall, with big beautiful acoustics, located on the island of Skeppsholmen, used to be a church.
Single Singers will perform led by Emily May`t Hoen and Annemarie Homan.
Latvian Voices, Syng Selected and Shipsea will all choose music from their repertoire that the hall invites them to perform.
We hope we will conclude the festival in such a way that we all feel ignited, inspired and full of hope!
inspiration
For this festival, we have chosen various workshop topics with the goal to look beyond current methods and practises. We want to inspire you to build bridges from cultural expressions of today, that may be inherited from the legacy of great artists, composers and ensembles that lived before, to stretch our perception into future musical expressions and practises that we may not have known were possible.
