Northeast UU Choral Festival
July 17 - July 24, 2010
Singing by the sea! Sacred songs,
masterpieces of the choral repertoire, secular songs, chants and
rounds, world music and a few surprises!
Improvising, harmonizing, sight
reading, song leading, performing!
New songs, new experiences, new ideas,
new confidence, new friends!
Great music, great surroundings, great
food, great people, great memories!

Whether you are a choir director, a choir member, a minister, a
religious educator or simply a person who loves to sing, this conference
is for you.
Each morning after worship in our beautiful chapel in the grove,
we'll gather with our talented workshop leaders to sing together. We
will have the opportunity to sing through several new songs each morning
during a Choral Reading Session. After a break, we will work on learning
and polishing 2 or 3 pieces of different genres, chosen by our workshop
leaders, for performance at various times during the week.
Afternoons offer free time to enjoy the beach, read a book, take a
nap or get to know each other better. There will be late-afternoon
workshops, which may include:
• Vocal technique and breath work
• Song leading/conducting
• Weaving music and worship together
• Music for healing
Ferry Beach provides programming for the children of parents
attending those afternoon workshops at no extra cost.
After dinner and friendship circle there will be hour-long
sing-a-longs. Possibilities include Broadway, UU kids' songs, songs from
the hymnal, chants and rounds. People may also choose to spend this time
working on performance pieces.
Feel free to bring a tape recorder so you can bring songs home with
you. If there is a song you would like to share with the group, bring it
along, but please respect copyright laws. Also, bring musical
instruments for evening social hour. There will be a fee of $25 for
music.
We look forward to singing with you!!!
