Now in its 27th season, the Ogontz Choral Workshop offers extraordinary opportunities for singers, church musicians, and choral conductors to work on repertoire and choral interpretation with some of the world’s leading choral directors. Registration is open to anyone and no auditions are required (registration and tuition payment is required). Past Ogontz participants have come from across North America and have included singers and musicians of all backgrounds. At Ogontz, these participants (with the featured guest artists), learn together, rehearse, relax, and sing for a glorious week in an intimate rustic retreat in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

Choral Masterworks Series: Each year, the choral workshop will showcase a choral masterwork carefully selected from the wide gamut of musical repertoire.

Choral Conductor’s Seminar: This seminar will offer a few additional sessions to explore what it’s like on the podium. This will be an opportunity to try and discover, during the week, what conducting is about. Music of the British Isles.

Choral Workshop with Tim Brown (other faculty: George Kent, Artistic Director of The Ogontz Arts Foundation; Paula Rockwell, voice faculty, Acadia University).

Masterwork: Ralph Vaughan Williams: Tudor Portraits.

Other Repertoire: Ralph Vaughan Williams: Hodie; Charles Villiers Stanford: Song To The Soul. English Church Music, Volume 1: Anthems & Motets – Oxford Choral Classics: English Church Music.

To coincide with our chosen masterwork, the entire week will be themed around the British Isles. To encompass as much of the British Isles as possible, works were chosen from English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh composers. Delve into these carefully selected works of acclaimed composers, enjoy a variety of regional culinary delights, and expect a few appropriately themed surprises throughout the week as we celebrate this phenomenal culture.

Individuals may attend as a resident participant, non-resident participant, student, or resident non-participant.
