The Choral Consortium of San Diego Summer Chorus is back, this time with a unique experience for both singers and audiences!
This year's Summer Chorus will be a "Mosaic Mass," featuring a once-in-a-lifetime creative spin on the traditional sung mass framework but blending music from different composers and styles to create one festival mass setting in the British Choral Tradition. Led by British choral composer, conductor, and Cathedral chorister Benjamin Thiele-Long, the Summer Chorus program is open to singers of all abilities, learning a treasury of choral music in a fun and inclusive environment while also sharing a tale or two of his own Cathedral music experience! The program will culminate in a spectacular concert at First United Methodist Church, accompanied by San Diego County's largest pipe organ in a performance that is certain to raise the roof!
Full rehearsal schedule is below - with rehearsals taking place in June on Tuesdays and some Saturdays at Kensington Community Church. The final concert will be held at 6pm on 21st June at First United Methodist Church. Details for concert tickets will be announced in the spring.
Participation is open to singers of all abilities. All we ask is attendance at a minimum of three rehearsals. Attendance at the afternoon rehearsal on the 21st at FUMC is required for all singers.
General registration is $75, but we will be running an "early bird" discount at a rate of $60 for those signing up before 1st March (TBC). Students can register at a reduced rate of $30. Music will be provided digitally for all participants; printing can be arranged on request.
Music will include:
