CHORAL SCHOLARS
|
Scholars will be high school students
nominated by their Choral Directors or Music Teachers by letter
or email by December 15, 2006. To maximize the hands-on experience
of the participants, the program will be offered only to a
limited number of scholars. The Colorado Springs Chorale selection
committee will notify those selected by January 5, 2007. The
Choral Scholar experience will include one ninety-minute SEMINAR
with Mr. Jenkins, plus attendance at selected Chorale
REHEARSALS and PERFORMANCE.
The seminar class will meet at the Colorado Springs Conservatory
at 1430 N. Hancock Ave. on January 27th, 2007 from 10:00-11:30am.
It will center upon the music of Handel, Mozart, Verdi, Gershwin
and Orff, and will offer commentary upon the history of the
choral arts.
Additionally, Choral Scholars will attend the following events:
Attend and sing at any two Chorale REHEARSALS on Wednesday
nights of the three weeks preceding the performance, from
7:15 pm to 9:45 pm at the First Christian Church, which is
located at 16 E. Platte Avenue in Colorado Springs.
Attend the DRESS REHEARSAL (to observe, not sing) at Pikes
Peak Center on March 23 (?) from 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm.
Attend the PERFORMANCE at Pikes Peak Center on March 24 to
receive a scholar certificate and enjoy the performance. The
Scholar will receive one voucher guaranteeing complimentary

Scholars at every rehearsal except at the Dress Rehearsal.
Scholars will be recognized to the audience and will be awarded
Choral Scholar Certificates at the performance. Extra Credit
