 In this discussion, two singers and voice teachers with over 50 years of
  combined experience in performance, research, and education will explor
 e vocal music from Brazil, Portugal, and beyond, encompassing both art a
 nd popular songs. Despite being the third most spoken European language 
 globally, Portuguese-sung repertoire remains underrepresented in univers
 ity curricula and concerts. The conversation will delve into the nuances
  of diction, the distinctions between Brazilian and European Portuguese,
  the extensive reach of the language across the world, and pedagogical m
 ethods for integrating this repertoire into both classical and popular m
 usic spheres, with a variety of examples from the repertoire and notable
  singers.\n\nREGISTER\n\nNATS CHAT 2024-25 SEASON
