Women's
Choral Workshop:
In alternating years, we sponsor a Women’s Choral Workshop. This is a
highly sought after event, bringing women choral singers from across the
entire state of New Jersey. This biennial event is an opportunity for
singers to learn more about their art. It is always a great chance to
meet other singers, be exposed to new repertoire and learn new and
enhance existing vocal techniques and disciplines.

Funding
has been made possible in part by the New Jersey State Council on the
Arts, Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment
for the Arts, through a grant administered by the Union
County Division of Cultural and Heritage Affairs. |
