Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity is now accepting applications for Choral Art 2027. It includes two programs in a cappella vocal chamber music with the GRAMMY®-winning ensemble Chanticleer, held in Banff, Alberta, Canada.
Choral Art Residency
June 12–20, 2027
A nine-day intensive for 12 pre-professional ensemble singers, who will rehearse and perform alongside members of Chanticleer, exploring repertoire that spans Renaissance polyphony, popular arrangements, and contemporary commissions, including a new work by Sarah Quartel. Workshops cover small-ensemble vocal technique, musicianship, performing without a conductor, building a professional singing career, and physical and mental well-being. The residency ends with the Choral Art Festival.
Choral Art Festival
June 18–20, 2027
A three-day celebration of choral music for 40 singers of all experience levels. Participants join Chanticleer, guest faculty, and the residency singers for workshops, rehearsals, and concerts in a range of ensemble configurations.
Guest faculty include Andrea Haines, composer Sarah Quartel, Michael Zaugg, Timothy Shantz, and Tim Keeler.
Both programs are open to singers 18 and older, and both domestic and international applicants are welcome. Program fees include on-campus accommodation and meals. Scholarships are available for the residency.
Application deadline: December 9, 2026
