As it remains inadvisable to resume normal choral singing activities, Encore will continue the "Encore University" concept through December 2020.
Some details are still in the works, but we have developed another exciting and engaging curriculum of educational classes and rehearsal sessions. The semester will be our standard 15 weeks, with an "early bird" registration price of $150 if you register before August 1, 2020, Tuition will be $170 after that date.
A frequently asked question as we continued rehearsals in the spring, was "why are we rehearsing when we will not be performing?" While there were several reasons, we are happy to announce we are planning a performance in December. We are in discussion with a production company to produce a virtual concert. As we are in the early stages of discussion, more details will be forthcoming.

CLASSES HAVE BEGUN BUT YOU CAN STILL JOIN US
In response to many requests to "keep the music and engagement going," Encore has developed a six-week program we are calling "Encore University - Summer School." The school will run for six weeks beginning Monday, July 6th. Each week will include at least fourteen hours of classes with over twenty unique offerings running from one to six weeks each. There will truly be something for everyone
- Sing for Fun, Sing to Learn with various Encore conductors (Chorale and ROCKS) leading participants in favorite songs from Encore's past repertoire over the years.
- Learn to Sing: Such subjects as Volval Technique, Solfege, Vocal Health, and more
- Learn About Music and Singing: Music History and More
- Just for Fun: "COVID Christmas" songs and a faculty recital
To maximize participation, Encore has established a very low all-inclusive tuition charge of $50 that will give you unlimited access to all programs. This is truly a unique program in the choral world at a time when we all need it. Encore hopes you will enroll and enjoy the many fun and educational offerings included in "Summer School."

In response to questions received:
Your tuition gives you access to all programs. You do not have to sign up for any specific classes.
Each class will have its own unique log-in number and password. Encore will email the log-in information to all registrants for all classes in advance. For classes you may be interested in, but are unable to attend, we will provide information on how to access video recordings of the class so you may watch at your convenience.
