Jazz & World Vocal Workshop at The Hopkins Center for the Arts

The music in this workshop will combine a cappella music from around the world with traditions from closer to home. We will sing to share with each other the joy, hope, and inspiration of music. We sing because we have to, because we love it, and because we are changed by it! All songs will be taught by rote, so ability to read music is not a requirement.

9:00 AM Workshop, Dartmouth music department, Hopkins Center
12:30 PM Lunch in a local restaurant
2:00 PM Attend Dartmouth Gospel Concert directed by Walt Cunningham, Hopkins Center
4:30 PM Break for dinner (on your own)...
