Where can school age children connect to nature with nationally recognized artists and perform Beatle’s music, African Spirituals, and American classics by Aaron Copland? By attending The Children’s Summer Choral Experience. This week long camp, sponsored by the Michigan City Chamber Music Festival, (MCCMF), will offer a unique chance to experience music and performance.
Artists/Instructors for this camp include: Kim Jones, soprano of Lyric Opera, who also performs nationally and internationally, Jennifer Muniz, professor of Piano at Indiana University, South Bend, and Sunny Gardner Orbovich, MCCMF Education Director.
This camp gives children the opportunity to expand their minds with new vocal techniques, exposure to a variety of music, along with the one-on-one coaching and training by top artists from our community.
