Unlike many choral organizations, Encore doesn't take the summer off. Every year, Encore offers five- or six-day Summer Institutes, or "Summer Sleep-Away Camps," as the singers like to call them. The days are consumed by morning exercise or yoga classes, choral rehearsals, sight reading classes, and vocal technique workshops, just to name a few of the activities. In the evening, Encore brings in a variety of musical performers, from classical, to American Song Book, World Music and more. This is also a great opportunity for singers to socialize and get to know each other.
Whether you have sung your entire life or have not sung for quite a few years—whatever your level of experience is— you will love Encore Chorale “Summer Camp.” The conductors are patient, knowledgeable and entertaining. In six days they will mold the group into a polished choral ensemble, ready to perform!
Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to work with dynamic conductors Jeanne Kelly, Founder and Artistic Director of Encore Creativity for Older Adults; Jeffrey Dokken, Associate Artistic Director; and conductor, Stephen Harouff.
