CHORALFEST REGIONAL TOUR
ABOUT
MCA is excited to send ChoralFest around the province once again in 2025!
Thanks to grants from the Manitoba Arts Council, the Foundation for Choral Music in Manitoba, and Sing Canada Harmony, MCA is pleased to bring clinics to schools, music classes, community choirs, and singing groups in regions beyond Winnipeg! This is an opportunity to experience MCA's flagship program in your own community. To be eligible, your community must be 50 kilometers or more outside of Winnipeg.
This program is open to all ages and musical styles. Running from November 19 to 28, we’re excited that our clinician for 2025 is Scott Leithead from Edmonton!
Workshops may be tailored to group needs; groups may choose to focus on a general clinic or a clinic on specific repertoire. The average length of a regional tour workshop will be 90 minutes, but shorter or longer workshops may be arranged.
All schools/choirs participating in ChoralFest must sign up for MCA choir membership. Learn more about MCA membership benefits and fees here. As a special promotion, we are offering a 50% discount on MCA choir membership to new choirs!
A 90-minute workshop is $180. If cost is a barrier to participation, we encourage groups to apply for an MCA program bursary.
REGISTRATION
Sign up below to indicate your interest in participating in the ChoralFest 2025 Regional Tour. We will try our best to accommodate all groups that register their interest, however the tour itinerary and schedule will be determined on a first-come, first-served basis, so there may be instances when we will be unable to stop in your community.
The tour itinerary and schedule will be determined on or before October 13, so don't delay: register your interest to participate today! Registration is now closed.
MCA will send an invoice for the cost of the workshop once the itinerary and schedule are confirmed.
