9th Annual Clark College Fall Choral Festival

For Immediate Release
October 18, 2024

Area Middle and High Schools participate

VANCOUVER, Wash. — The Clark College Music Department is hosting the 9th Annual Fall Choral Festival on Friday, November 15, 2024 in Gaiser Student Center on the campus of Clark College. A total of 18 area middle and high school chamber and concert choirs will sing in this non-competitive festival which runs from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  Tickets are $5/person for the day.

Clinicians for this festival include: Dr. Katy Green, Dr. John Guarente, Dr. Shohei Kobayashi, and Dr. Tiffany Walker.

"I'm thrilled that we'll have so many choirs visiting campus for our festival and I'm excited to hear the great work they are doing," says Festival Director Dr. Jacob Funk, who is also the Director of Choirs at Clark College. "Participating choirs get the chance to work with some highly skilled clinicians and receive written feedback on their performance. Each choir will also get to have a mini-clinic onstage, allowing for the other schools to see how a different choir learns new ways to succeed. Two of the Clark College Choirs will perform for all the participating choirs in the middle of the festival. It will be a wonderful time of music making, learning, and supporting each other in song."
