A two-week summer program for high school-age singers who are focused on musical theater or classical music. Led by faculty with years of experience training young artists, this is a chance for young performers to explore their abilities and potential as soloists, actors, choral singers and musicians. VCI is designed to strengthen singers' performance skills and build confidence in performance choices. Students will participate in performance skills classes, theory, sight-singing, diction, yoga, acting and ensemble singing. There will also be voice lessons and coaching, special masterclasses with Boston Conservatory faculty and concerts by the teaching staff, as well as trips to Boston theatrical performances. Every student in VCI performs in two solo recitals and the program ends with an unforgettable gala ensemble performance. Faculty: Dr. William Cutter, director; Patty Thom, director; John Kuntz; Lynn Torgove; Kevin Wilson. Register by June 1, 2016.
