2011 Summer Choral Institute

The fifth annual Salt Lake Choral Artists Summer Choral Institute is open to choral music teachers, choral enthusiasts, and singers of all ages. Each of the sessions will focus on several works by one composer or repertoire unified by a theme.

Participants will sing, study, rehearse, and perform under the direction of Artistic Director Brady Allred in beautiful Libby Gardner Concert Hall at the University of Utah.

Each SCI concert will feature the award winning Salt Lake Vocal Artists who will be traveling to Argentina to sing at the World Symposium on Choral Music this August.

With daytime, evening and weekend activities, we offer a session to fit every schedule.

Families are encouraged to participate together in one or more sessions—with a special family discount. Families of three will receive a $5 discount off the price of each participant. Families of four or more will receive a $10 discount off the price of each participant.
