Join us for an inspiring week of choral singing led by Donald Nally, Westminster Choir College’s Director of Choral Studies and multiple Grammy Award winner. 

The Choral Festival explores masterworks of the choral repertory, primarily through intense rehearsals and a culminating performance, augmented by discussions and practice of score preparation, study, collaboration, and performance. Choral musicians convene for a week of community, growth, and artistry, experiencing the unique culture and atmosphere that has characterized Westminster Choir College for 100 years, emphasizing listening, ensemble building, vocal production, choral techniques, point of view, excellence of performance, and thoughtfulness. Lectures and discussions will augment the immersive environment, including a look at new repertoire, and a sing-in of additional works (a big hit last year!). 

The cost for this unforgettable week-long festival is just $375. Don’t miss your chance to work with one of the most renowned choral conductors of our time.
