Ines Kaun (DE/SWE)

CONDUCTING A SYMPHONY OR AN OPERA CHOIR

With Ines Kaun, the seminar participants have an opportunity to dive into the world of opera and symphonic choirs and hear about their processes from rehearsals to concerts. There is also going to be a discussion about the differences and similarities in rehearsal techniques and sound between symphonic and a cappella choirs.


INES KAUN is currently working as a Chorus Master at the Royal Opera in Stockholm.
​
Originally from Berlin, she has studied orchestral and choral conducting in Weimar and in Stockholm. During the scholarship from the Dirigentenforum in Germany she worked with numerous professional choirs, such as the NDR, MDR and SWR, and widened her a cappella repertoire.

Concurrently, she began her career at the Opera house in Darmstadt, followed by chorus master positions in Heidelberg Salzburg and now Stockholm, where she leads the Opera Chorus in addition to conducting performances. Ines Kaun works regularly with the Berliner Rundfunkchor and won the DIMA international music competition in choral conducting in 2021. Her goal is to combine her experiences with both opera and radio choirs to achieve the highest musical quality on every level.
