Now in its 28th season, the Ogontz Choral Workshop will take place from Sunday 23 July to Saturday 29 July at Ogontz Camp, a beautiful retreat in Lyman, NH. This experience offers extraordinary opportunities for singers, church musicians, and choral conductors to work on choral repertoire and interpretation with some of the world’s leading choral directors.
This year’s participants will delve into Edward Elgar’s The Dream of Geronitus with renowned British choral conductor David Hill, director of the UK’s BBC Singers and The Bach Choir, as well as Yale University’s Schola Cantorum. Hill will also lead singers through an exploration of European Sacred Music (Oxford Choral Classics, ed. John Rutter), an anthology of over 50 choral gems from the last five centuries, and offer a Conductor’s Seminar in which participants can receive mentoring in directing singers. Mezzo-soprano Paula Rockwell of Acadia University, Nova Scotia, will conduct master classes and sessions in vocal technique.
Students enrolled in college are eligible for discounted tuition. Graduate credit can be arranged through University of Rhode Island.
