The High Plains Chamber Choir Festival is a premier regional event dedicated to the art of small ensemble choral singing. Designed for high school ensembles of 5–32 voices, the festival celebrates the power of individual voices coming together in a unified, expressive sound while bridging the gap between spirited competition and artistic collaboration. Each participating ensemble performs a prepared set of three pieces.
Immediately following your stage performance, choirs will have the opportunity to have a private masterclass clinic with a well-known conductor in the choral industry. This ensures that every student leaves not just with a rating, but with tangible growth and professional insight.
End the day with an exceptional performance by our invited Honor choir followed by a high-energy and positive awards ceremony to celebrate!
We invite you to be part of a meaningful musical experience where every voice is heard, and every singer plays an essential role. Registration opens on August 15th, 2027.
