2021 National Choir Festival Opportunities
2021 is an exciting year for the Music for All National Choir Festival, March 25-27 in Indianapolis! Participants will interact with TEN nationally acclaimed musicians and educators, and REPERTOIRE will include a focus on Beethoven.
In 2021, we have two exciting options for your consideration.
• For the Invited Choir Experience, submit audio recordings of your full choir for invitation by blind audition. Invited Choirs will perform individually with evaluation and clinic, and combine voices to become the National Festival Choir.
• If your program is not prepared to submit for full choir, consider The Choral Ensemble of America for your most reliable, motivated high school singers who yearn for a high-level honor choir experience enhanced by master classes and servant leadership education. Balanced SATB quartets, one per part, may apply by submitting video recordings of the required piece, Palestrina’s Sicut Cervus.

All Saints Episcopal Church in Park Slope Brooklyn is looking for volunteer singers comfortable singing one-on-a-part and with good sight reading skills in order to sing as part of a once-a-month Evensong Choir. The repertoire is all unaccompanied and usually 4 to 6 part late Renaissance music (think William Byrd).
The Evensong services are one Sunday a month at 5pm. There is one rehearsal for each performance, so good sight reading skills are a must. Looking for all voice parts (but especially alto and tenor).
We’re looking to create a laid back yet passionate group of volunteer singers enthusiastic about reading and singing great a capella sacred choral music and excited to participate in music-driven and meditative services.

September 29;
October 27; and
December 1
