June 26, 2009 - August 1, 2009
The Western Wind, America’s longest-running professional a cappella ensemble, has announced its 29th annual Summer Workshops in Ensemble Singing, for singers of all ages and all levels of experience. Held on the Smith College campus, in the beautiful foothills of the Berkshire Mountains, the workshops run in length from three to five to eight days (see specifics below), depending on individual preference, and within two time frames: Session I starts June 26; Session II starts July 24. There are still a few spaces left in the June workshops.In small-group sessions and masterclass-style seminars, the six members of the Western Wind, together with guest faculty, address each singer's individual development, fostering growth in skill and accomplishment. Because the ensembles are assembled based on musical skill, the workshops are open to all levels, amateur to professional. Participants sing an eclectic array of music that might include Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Early American, 19th and 20th-century part-songs, rounds, hymns and folk-songs, jazz, pop, improvisations and more. The first weekend session, June 26-June 28 also includes a Kids group for children 8-12 and a Teen group for singers from 13-17.
