Come join other singers from the Hudson Valley in short daily workshops to:
- Learn valuable vocal techniques to help you develop your own voice - tone, range, stamina.
- Explore the spiritual basis for your singing - help deepen your own sense of worship while singing in your choir.
- Work on specific choral techniques to develop your sense of blend and group sound.
- Foster your sense of community with other choral singers in the area.
- Prepare your heart, mind and body for your choir's coming fall season.
- Then, put what you've learned into practice by singing in a beautiful Community Evensong Service at the end of the week, followed by a group supper. Repertoire will include the Stanford Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in C. Choral rehearsals for this service will follow each daily workshop.
