"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, 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."
