About the festivalThis new, one-day festival brings together talented high school treble singers from across the region. The festival provides a platform for choral singers to showcase their skills and learn from experienced conductors in a safe and affirming environment. With a focus on promoting life-long singing, and the celebration of music written specifically for treble singers, the UW-Eau Claire Treble Choir Festival is a must-attend event for singers passionate about choral music.
The festival is open to all high school treble singers. Under the direction of Dr. Frank A. Watkins, Director of Choral Activities, singers will spend the day rehearsing side-by-side with Women's Concert Chorale (WoCo). The day will consist of break-out sectionals and team-building activities led by WoCo and will end with a final concert. |
