Singer Qualifications

This program is designed for seasoned choral singers who currently sing with a chorus and rehearse regularly. Everyone must be familiar with the pieces when they arrive, having learned the notes. Rehearsal sessions will be dedicated to interpretation and musical refinement, not to note learning. We intend to do credit to these great compositions and arrangements, while providing an enjoyable experience for all. (A recording of the performance will be mailed to all singers.)

Repertoire

We will be singing three original compositions by Mark Hayes: Surely He has Borne our Grief, Breath of Life and To Love our God; and seven of his arrangements: America the Beautiful, Summertime, Grace, Blessed Assurance, Leaning on the Everlasting Arms, A Mighty Fortress is our God and Jesus, O What A Wonderful Child. All scores and a practice CD will be mailed to you when you register.

Registration

A registration fee of $100 per person is due with your application. This is non-refundable should you cancel, but it applies to the cost of your registration if you attend. Applications will be accepted as they are received, so register early to ensure your place.

Registration deadline is May 30, 2010.

Places for women filled early in 2008.

Your Hosts

The Angeles Chorale is a chorus of 120 auditioned volunteer singers, rehearsing and performing in the Los Angeles area. The group was founded in 1975 and has enjoyed thirteen years under the baton of Donald Neuen.

The Angeles Chorale is delighted to bring these two outstanding talents together for a weekend of learning and singing at Asilomar's beautiful conference grounds on the Monterey Peninsula, and we hope YOU will contact us today with a decision to join us for this unique experience!
