Perth Choral Institute – Summer School 15 – 22 Jan 2017

The Perth Choral Institute Summer School is an eight-day residential course for singers aged 15 to 25. It provides an intensive but highly enjoyable week of training in singing and choral music. Participants receive individual singing lessons, group workshops, small ensemble rehearsals and multiple performance opportunities.

The objective of this course is to offer developing singers a unique opportunity to perform at the highest level with like-minded musicians, providing a gateway to the rich choral scene of Western Australia.
