About the Workshop

This international workshop is for serious singers ages 15 - 20, who are looking for a strong chamber ensemble experience. You will be part of a twenty-six to twenty-eight voice group that will perform a capella choral music from madrigals to the twentieth century.

Experience the joy of creating music on the highest level, working with other committed and talented young musicians, and learning the inner workings and dynamics of intensive chamber ensemble performance.

The Faculty is what makes this workshop special:

Please click on their names for their full bios.

Simon Carrington: professor at both the Yale School of Music, the Yale Institute of Sacred Music, and the founder/director of the highly acclaimed Yale Schola Cantorum, will be rehearsing and conducting the ensemble. In an exciting interest session, Simon will also be hosting a Q&A/dialog session for prospective college students; answering questions about the college audition process, the life of a professional singer, and other topics of your choice.

Bronislawa Falinska: our visiting artist in vocal pedagogy, will be joining us over the 8 days to lead sessions using the Rohmert method of Functional Voicetraining. Get ready for a sensorial exploration of the voice, and to explore how self-perception works in the combination of "hearing-feeling-seeing."

Brian O'Connell: founder/director of both of the Sarteano Workshops, explores innovative approaches to ensemble singing and esprit de corps within a group.
