Volti's Choral Institute for High School Singers provides intensive training and
performance opportunities for up to 100 high school students over the course of one
intensive weekend. Two options are available during the 2008/09 school year: October 10 – 12, 2008, and January 9 – 11, 2009. Please note that the January session is for treble voices only.

Volti serves as the resident choir and faculty. The students will have the opportunity to work closely with these outstanding professional singers. Together with Artistic Director Robert Geary and the high schools’ choir conductors, Volti members will lead sectional
rehearsals, give voice classes, and direct seminars designed to challenge and inspire each student. Each participating choir will perform for one another and receive critical evaluations by Volti and Mr. Geary. In the Institute Choir, students will rehearse“side by side” with members of Volti, and ultimately perform the music learned for an open audience (including parents and friends!) at the Camp in Occidental.

CYO Camp

The CYO-McGucken Center in Occidental is set amidst the majestic redwoods of northern Sonoma County. Participants are housed in groupings of heated rustic cabins, each of which sleeps eight boys or girls. A list of essential items to bring (sleeping bags, etc.) will be provided upon registration. Rehearsals and meals take place in the main lodge, just a few hundred feet away, with its roaring fireplace and green lawns. The camp is equipped with full bathroom facilities, a basketball court, and numerous easy hiking trails.

Tuition is $260 per student, which includes instruction, room, and board. For further information, or to register your choir (individual students are also welcome), please contact us at barbara@voltisf.org or 415.771.3352.
