  • We are thrilled to welcome Steve Normandin for an exclusive song interpretation masterclass on March 16.
Location: Home of Claudia Hommel (Albany Park, Chicago)
RSVP at https://www.jotform.com/form/260356483035052

Our colleague from the Chicago Paris Cabaret Connexion comes to us direct from Québec City (he'll be performing in Chicago with the Lord of the Rings orchestra earlier in the week). Howie Pfeifer will be at the piano. 

Steve writes:  I offer a song interpretation workshop that fosters the development of participants' skills in conveying the emotions and meaning of song lyrics. We will explore stage presence, physical expression, the musicality of words, and their primary meaning. The workshop takes place in a friendly and inclusive atmosphere suitable for all levels. It's an ideal opportunity to deepen one's connection with song while building confidence on stage.

For thirty years, I have been developing my interpretation of French-language songs. I have trained with renowned Canadian and French artists. I am interested in all forms of song, regardless of language. What inspires and interests me in the work of an interpreter is finding one's own truth within a story imagined by someone else. How to be sincere and authentic by getting to the heart of the matter.

Steve's first language is French but he will conduct the session in English.
