Summer Intensive Program: Choral
August 14-19, 2023
This program is a unique opportunity to participate in a mixed-voice choral setting, increase singing skills, and learn about music in a concentrated and engaging manner. Led by instructor Brian Wismath, singers will participate in daily rehearsals (in either a daytime or evening choir) culminating in a final performance of both a cappella and accompanied works. Singers will explore a wide range of classical music styles from the 17th century madrigal to recent compositions and featuring composers John Bennet, William Byrd, Ola Gjeilo, GF Handel, Eric Whitacre, and many more. While the course is open to all skill levels, it is strongly recommended that participants have previous experience singing with sheet music.
