The 30th annual Ogontz Choral Workshop offers extraordinary opportunities for singers, church musicians, and choral conductors to explore repertoire with some of the world’s leading choral directors. The workshop, held at Ogontz Camp in Lyman, NH, will be led by David Hill, director of the Bach Choir of London and Yale University’s Schola Cantorum. Participants will work with voice clinician Paula Rockwell, a member of the faculty of Acadia University, Nova Scotia, who will lead sessions in vocal technique and masterclasses and perform a solo recital.
Each year the choral workshop showcases a masterwork. Participants take a deep look into the piece and the historical context in which it was composed. The 2019 masterwork will be Sea Drift by Frederick Delius. Singers will also explore Sacred Choruses, ed. John Rutter, a new collection of 28 exceptional oratorio choruses and short choral works, all in carefully researched editions.
Unlike many summer choral workshops, which focus on a culminating public performance, the Ogontz Choral Workshop is an opportunity to become immersed in several masterpieces without the pressure of preparing a performance.
Discounts are available for college students.
