The MS Chorus - Central MS Honor Choir

The Mississippi Chorus is excited to announce its third annual Central MS Honor Choir Workshop.  

 

This workshop is specifically designed to better prepare Mississippi choir students for successful Mississippi All-State Honor Choir auditions. We are pleased to include Junior High Students in this year's workshop! Students will spend the day rehearsing and performing the MS All-State audition repertoire, meeting fellow choral musicians from other schools, and making beautiful music. Rehearsals and sectionals will be separate, with individual clinicians dedicated to each group.  All students will come together to end the one-day event with a free, joint concert for family, friends and community members.  

 

Registration for the event will include access to a virtual intensive sight reading session that will be held outside of the workshop.  More information to come on this exciting opportunity.  

 

We trust that  participating students will be able to record their All-State audition submission with a better knowledge and understanding of the required audition repertoire and sight reading procedures and expectations.

 

The event will be held at Mississippi College in Clinton this year and will also provide students a glimpse into the college experience that is available to them as singers.

 

A link to the itinerary, registration form and frequently asked questions will be sent early next week. 

 

Feel free to share this information with other choral directors. This is open to public, private, and home schooled students.
