"Of Words and Music", a five-day immersive program with BCI’s Music Director Frank Nemhauser. Explore creative pairs of works with the same text and settings by Tallis, Haydn, Biebl, Lauridsen, Barber, Bloch, and Burleigh, among others. Our one act final concert on Sunday will be in Ozawa Hall, the architectural and acoustic jewel of The Berkshires.

In addition to serving as BCI’s beloved Music Director since 1992, Nemhauser is Associate Professor and Director of Vocal Studies at Mannes School of Music in New York. Frank will retire from BCI at the end of our 2024 season, so this is your final opportunity to sing under his esteemed direction.

A catered lunch on campus is included with your tuition each day along with a Welcome Reception. Evenings will be on your own with optional organized opportunities to dine and socialize together and explore Berkshire County. Housing for the event is on your own; BCI provides some housing resources.

Tuition: $1,550 standard, $1,163 newcomer, $1,008 age 45 and under. Registration deadline March 1, 2024; late registration might be possible.
