Experience
the joy of singing, the thrill of performing, and the power
of choral music with other talented students and a superb
artistic faculty during four weeks of intensive vocal two
and musical instruction at the School of Choral Studies.
A nationally acclaimed choral conductor
and artist faculty will provide you with an excellent music
education and daily instruction in choral singing and
comprehensive musicianship. You will study private voice and
have the opportunity (as assigned by faculty) to participate
in musical theater and opera scenes, stagecraft and movement,
small ensembles, and voice recitals
You
will perform with the NYSSSA Chorale in the magnificent King
Concert Hall at the Rockefeller Center for the Arts at SUNY
Fredonia and in the
Amphitheater at the famous Chautauqua
Institution.
You will be housed on the attractive
Fredonia campus and use the
excellent facilities of the music department, as well as other
academic and recreational areas. In addition to a rigorous program in
choral studies, you will enjoy a variety of cultural activities,
including concerts, opera and theater performances at the
Chautauqua
Institution, as well as master classes and workshops by guest artists.
The School of Choral Studies is co-sponsored by
SUNY Fredonia and the
New York State School Music Association, and is administered by the
New York State Education Department. Music educators are encouraged to
visit the school and observe all aspects of the program.
Application Process
For your audition, you’ll be asked to perform a prepared
vocal selection to demonstrate your technical and musical abilities. (A folk song, art
song, or standard vocal literature is preferred.) You must supply your own accompaniment.
Sight-reading of standard vocal literature will be included as part of your
audition.
If you intend to participate in the statewide audition process,
you should complete and return the application form as soon as possible.
Upon receipt of your form, complete information about the audition locations,
schedules, and times will be mailed to you.
Tuition and Financial Aid
The entire cost of attending the School of
Choral Studies, including tuition, instruction, room, and board is
$1,500.
NYSSSA’s summer programs are open to all New York State students
currently enrolled in grades 8 through 12 who qualify through the
audition process. Tuition, room, and board costs should not discourage
any talented young artist from auditioning. A student who auditions is
under no obligation to attend and every effort will be made to allocate
suitable financial aid.
We want any talented young artist who is accepted through our audition
process, regardless of his or her ability to pay for the school, to be
able to attend, so tuition assistance is available. Tuition assistance
forms are mailed to students after the audition process. NYSSSA awards
financial assistance based upon individual need.
