We heartily welcome experienced ensemble singers from around the world who are interested in attending in a non-conducting capacity. Singers who enjoy a chamber ensemble environment and/or who are specifically looking to learn more about ensemble vocal techniques, rehearsal strategies, and conducting will find this workshop experience appealing and artistically fulfilling. Those on the ensemble singer track will sing side-by-side with members of the UMass Chamber Choir and have opportunities to take part in vocal chamber music coachings and performances.

Approximately 24 singers (3 per section for each of the two ensembles) will be selected for the ensemble singer track. To apply for this track, applicants must submit a bio or resume and performance video via YouTube link. The performance video should include one solo piece. A folk song, hymn tune, art song, or operatic selections are acceptable.

Private voice lessons with Dr. Jamie-Rose Guarrine will be available to singers and conductors for an additional fee.
