Schola Cantorum Choir Camp 2008
August 11-15
Our two training choirs, ages 6-9 are full. Feel free to contact Clint Kraus to have your name put on our waiting list. We do still have spaces available for young singers ages 10-14.
The Schola Cantorum Choir Camp is designed to develop full and active participation in the liturgy through singing.
Led by the region’s finest Catholic music educators, this week-long camp for young singers
ages 6-14 (treble voices) provides excellent training in liturgical music. Students learn
how to sing, and develop and grow their skills in music fundamentals including rhythm and pitch.
The Choir Camp hours are from 9:00am until 4:00pm. Priority will be given to students who commit to participating in our Youth Music Program in the
08-09 school year.

Resident Ensembles to perform at St. James
In addition to the Cathedral’s own choirs, several leading community choruses are named as "Resident Ensembles."

See our event calendar for the details.

Seattle Academy of Baroque Opera, Stephen Stubbs, artistic director
Opus 7, Loren Pontén, director
