Quintessence Summer Choral Festival
Since 2013, Quintessence has produced a weeklong Summer Choral Festival for adult and school-aged singers who want to experience the thrill of performing a major choral-orchestral work together. Our 2025 Summer Choral Festival will be held July 12 - July 20, 2025.
CHORAL SCHOLARS PROGRAM
Our annual Summer Choral Festival provides an opportunity for serious singers of all ages to spend a joyful and intense week preparing a major choral work for performance with professional orchestra.
