Program notes

At 83, Margreet Honig is one of the most sought-after voice teachers in the world. Based in the Netherlands but in high demand throughout Europe and North America, she works with internationally renowned singers, including Magdalena Kožená. This documentary paints the portrait of an extraordinary teacher who is deeply attuned to the individual behind the artist, taking us to her classroom for some insights on what it means to be a singer. Over the course of her career, Margreet Honig has developed a unique method that breaks with traditional models based on the unrealistic pursuit of perfection. Her approach, resolutely human and contemporary, reflects the evolution of our society and the new ways of thinking about teaching and transmission. Moving, inspiring, and deeply motivating, this documentary celebrates an exceptional woman and a vision of singing where listening, freedom, and trust are at the heart of the art.
