Orlando Kickoff Retreat
January 24 – 26, 2025 (optional extension on January 23)
Join us for a magical weekend retreat in Orlando to celebrate the start of a new season of singing! This weekend retreat will take Encore singers to bright and sunny Florida for three days of music, friendship, and fun. You’ll get a sneak peek at the repertoire for the spring semester and harmonize with Encore singers from across the nation, with an informal performance at the end of the retreat.
Our host hotel, the Holiday Inn Disney Springs, is just minutes away from Orlando’s premiere shopping and dining destination, Disney Springs. The harmony of Encore music, combined with the magic of the Walt Disney World Resort, is sure to bring a smile to your face and start your spring semester of singing off right!
This trip also offers an optional Disney Day at the Magic Kingdom before our trip fully begins. Visit the park with fellow Encore singers and enjoy the wonder and magic of a Disney weekend!
