Newsflash:It
is with a heavy heart that the VPJD Board has decided to cancel the
2020 edition of the Vocal Pop & Jazz Days. Recent policies across Europe have made it clear that a 'normal' edition this summer would face severe challenges since international travel will still be problematic this August and any group event should adhere to the "1,5 meter society"-guidelines. We've considered various options to allow for the event to take place under these circumstances, but concluded this would take the heart out of the Vocal Pop & Jazz Days. Our
masters Deke
Sharon, Merel Martens and Jesper Holm
have all agreed to be at our next edition, so we can already look
forward to having this great Musical Team in 2022.
On behalf of all of us, stay safe, stay healthy! |

'VPJD is a
unique and shining example of the beauty and pure joy that can arise
from a large group of like-minded, kind-hearted vocal musicians coming
together as a diverse community. This special week was filled with
laughter, honest expressiveness and true personal growth for
participants on either side of the conductor’s podium, and over time,
as I cherish the memories of the experience, I know I’ll remain changed
for the better.

'VPJD is like
nowhere else in Europe.
The international vocal event attracts singers from many countries and
offer you a 7 days experience of singing and performing together on a
very high artistic level. I enjoyed very much taking part in VPJD and
believe that this event plays an active role in the development of both
vocal and choral music. It is without hesitation that I can most confidently recommend VPJD for anyone who wants to explore vocal music and get to know the “Vocal Family”. ' Jim Daus Hjernøe Guest conductor 2016 |

'Everyone
must do the VPJD AT LEAST once in their lifetime!! It is an enriched
week of music that has no comparison! There is both challenge and
enjoyment for anyone at any age and ability involved in group singing.
You truly get to witness the learning curve of magical music making in
7 days..........the attention to detail is magnificent, and the result
astounding! An intense week of hard-working FUN! One of the best events
for human artistic bonding and sharing!! '

I really
enjoyed
taking part in The Vocal Pop
& Jazz Days 2012. It is an intense musical experience with
rehearsals and concerts on a very high level. Both the participants and
conductors are truly enthusiastic in their music making. I also
appreciated the social life of VPJD where I got to meet people from
many different nations and varied ages. Everyone taking part in all the
nice activities during their spare time. I'd be happy to return. Anders Edenroth Guest conductor 2012 |

'It's been
such a joy to be here. These singers have hearts like lions It's been a rigorous, busy, music-filled, fun-filled, love-filled joy-fest for everyone. When people come together for a common goal, and work hard and achieve that goal, particularly in choral music, it's very inspiring to me personally. You can see the end performance of this week as a metafor how the world could be, if we all sang in a choir I will never forget this week that I spent here. ' Kirby Shaw |
