Choral FX
Annual Festival & Honor Choir
October 4, 2024
We're thrilled to invite you to join us for the annual Choral FX Honor Choir Event on October 4, 2024! This powerful educational immersion, established by Dr. Bruce Browne over a decade ago, is designed especially for talented high school singers like you.
This year, Choro in Schola is partnering with Pacific Youth Choir to host the event at the beautiful Trinity Cathedral in Portland. You'll have the incredible opportunity to work with professional singers from Choro in Schola, receive coaching from our conductors, and perform in a stunning venue. Whether you're already a top singer in your school's program or working to advance your skills, this event is perfect for taking your abilities to the next level.
You'll spend the afternoon rehearsing engaging repertoire, honing your skills, and meeting fellow passionate young singers. The day culminates in a free concert at Trinity Cathedral, where you'll perform alongside Choro in Schola, showcasing your hard work to friends and family.
Don't miss this chance to be part of something extraordinary. Join us for a day of music, growth, and inspiration at the Choral FX Honor Choir Event!
Registration closes September 20.
