Join Choir of the Earth from Monday 4 November 2024 to learn, sing, and record Mahler’s ‘Symphony of a Thousand’ with the incredible Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Edward Gardner OBE.

On 4 June 2024, the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus performed Mahler’s Eighth Symphony in a performance that has received great acclaim from critics around the world and won awards in their native Norway.

Working closely with Choir of the Earth engineers, our partners in Bergen captured both the entire performance and the individual choral parts through headset mics worn by 16 professional singers during the performance.

These recordings will now form the foundation of our teaching resources for a truly extraordinary musical event, as we invite you to join hundreds of global singers to learn, sing, and record Mahler’s Eighth Symphony with award-winning Musical Director, Ben England.

Ben will guide you note by note through Mahler’s complex choral lines with detail and precision, using the latest techniques and technology developed over 5 years of intensive online choral teaching.

Choir of the Earth's singers will add their voices to the recording, enhancing the original performance with our international voices, blending the grandeur of the live concert with the richness of a global choral community.

This course will begin on 4 November 2024 and end on 16 January 2025, with a Christmas break between 20 December - 5 January inclusive.
