Artistic ConsultingAn experienced outside perspective for choirs, festivals and cultural projects.
Myguel Santos e Castro provides artistic consulting to choirs, festivals and cultural institutions looking to develop — drawing on his experience founding and leading VoxLaci since 1996 and serving as artistic director of the Ramos Palm Sunday Festival.
What I do
- Choral project diagnosis — repertoire, section organisation, vocal development and group dynamics.
- Programme and season structuring — planning repertoire and calendar across a season.
- Festival and institution guidance — an experienced outside perspective for projects in development.
- One-off consulting — one or a few focused sessions on a specific question, with no long-term commitment.
Background
Founder and artistic director of VoxLaci since 1996 — a choral community with around twelve ensembles, for all ages and levels — and artistic director of the Ramos Palm Sunday Festival, an annual international choral festival in Cascais. Thirty years of building, adjusting and growing choral projects bring a practical, not just theoretical, standard to this consulting work.
