Summer Intensive Program: Choral
August 12-17, 2024
This program is a unique opportunity to participate in a mixed-voice chamber choral setting, increase singing skills, and learn about music in a concentrated and engaging manner. Led by instructor Brian Wismath and featuring Emily Carr String Quartet, singers will participate in daily rehearsals culminating in a final performance. Singers will explore a wide range of choral works from the baroque era to recent compositions. While the course is open to all skill levels, it is strongly recommended that participants have previous experience singing with sheet music. Repertoire will feature works by J.S. Bach, Gabriel Fauré, Ola Gjeilo, James Mulholland, and Katerina Gimon.Registration deadline: July 15, 2024
