Description
Presented by Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, the Choral Art Festival is a three-day celebration of vocal chamber music in Banff National Park. It culminates the Choral Art Residency, bringing 40 festival participants together with Chanticleer, guest faculty and 12 residency singers for collaborative learning and performance.
The festival supports artistic growth through workshops with Chanticleer, composer Sarah Quartel, soprano Andrea Haines, Timothy Shantz and Michael Zaugg. Participants rehearse and perform in different ensemble configurations, share their work in concerts and expand their choral community. Although described as a festival for emerging ensemble singers, it welcomes individual singers of all experience levels who meet the minimum age requirement.
