All choirs must participate in an Individual Choir Performance and may then choose from the additional electives.
Costs are listed per person for each elective.
Participating choirs prepare one of their own pieces for virtual performance. Each will receive part learning recordings and guide tracks for individual singer preparation. The performance will include a professional collaborative pianist and appearances from all participating singers and their director. Pictures of the performance venue will be integrated into the virtual performance video.
Guided by the guest composer-in-residence, participating choirs prepare for a virtual performance of the new piece written for CODA Concerts. Each will receive part learning recordings and guide tracks for individual singer preparation. Each participating ensemble will receive a recording of the composer-in-residence offering a welcome, words about the piece, and prescribed warm up exercises for singer use in their home or distanced rehearsal. Additionally, all participants are invited to attend a one-hour Zoom Q & A session with the guest composer-in-residence. The performance will include a professional collaborative pianist and appearances from all participating singers and the composer-conductor.
