Fall Workshops
Our group and individual school workshops, available September through November 2024, consist of:
• Performances by the Choro in Schola choir and participating high school choirs
• On-stage workshop, where Choro in Schola singers join your students, supporting their overall sound and mentoring section leaders
• Sectionals, where all the sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses from each participating school come together for voice building or repertoire exercises
We understand the challenges that many choir programs face, especially when it comes to limited resources and funding. That's why we believe in the power of mentorship and support to help students achieve their full potential and develop a lifelong love and appreciation for music.
We know that many choir programs are facing funding and resource challenges, which is why we are offering our group workshops at a rate of $250 per school. Our organization may also be able to work with you to reduce financial barriers.
Every student should have access to quality music education, regardless of school size, location, and financial resources. Choro in Schola is committed to helping schools like yours achieve this goal. To participate in our fall group workshops and experience the benefits of working with Choro in Schola, please get started by completing the form below!
