The United States of America and Canada both have a rich choral heritage with many diverse styles of music. In this atelier we will explore the music of the American musical theater, movie music, contemporary Canadian choral music and French Canadian folk music, as well as American contemporary choral compositions, jazz, bluegrass, and gospel music. The repertoire will invite you to dance, tap your toe, relax, reflect, and clap your hands!
