Vocal workshop still open; closing program planned

Spots are still available for Southern A’Chord Chorus’s free women’s vocal workshop on Saturday, and the community is invited to attend a 2:30 p.m. closing presentation showcasing what participants have learned.

The workshop, “Find Your Voice: Empowering Women Through Song,” will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the fellowship hall of the Presbyterian Church of Ruston, 212 N. Bonner. It is open to women ages 16 and older.


Participants will spend the day focusing on healthy vocal technique, ensemble skills and musical expression in an encouraging setting. Nationally recognized vocal clinician Robin Curtis will lead the workshop.

The afternoon program will feature all workshop participants singing together, followed by two selections from Southern A’Chord’s repertoire. Family, friends and community members are welcome to attend the brief performance.

Pre-registration has been extended through Thursday, and walk-ins will be accepted as space allows. To pre-register, visit bit.ly/women-sing.

The workshop is supported by a grant from the Louisiana Division of the Arts, the Office of Cultural Development, and the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council, as administered by the Northeast Louisiana Arts Council. Funding has also been provided by the National Endowment for the Arts and community sponsors.
