UMBRIAN SERENADES is a life-transforming choral program that brings together passionate singers from all over the U.S. who seek opportunities to perform exquisite a cappella repertoire within a small vocal chamber ensemble. These choral enthusiasts come together to enhance their vocal, musicianship, and ensemble skills, as well as savor all that small medieval hilltop towns in the heart of Italy can offer culturally, be it wine, olive oil, cooking, and the like. This select chamber ensemble performs sacred a cappella vocal works, spanning from Renaissance to Gospel,
Spiritual and contemporary repertoire in unique spaces throughout the lush and breathtaking hills of Umbria.

For the 2010 session, Umbrian Serenades is happy to announce that DR. JOSEPH FLUMMERFELT, Musical America 2004 Conductor of the Year, will conduct the ensemble, as well as present a choral conducting master class with participants.  Graduate Credit (1 unit) available through Westminster Choir College/Rider University.
