Inaugural Cal Poly Honor Choir Festival Concert

August 4, 2018 @ 2:30 pm - 5:00 pm

 

High school singers from throughout the state will combine with Cal Poly singers for the Cal Poly High School Honor Choir Festival Concert at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 4, in the historic Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa.

 

This is the inaugural year of the festival, established by Cal Poly Director of Choral Activities Scott Glysson to provide an opportunity for talented high school singers to perform great music alongside collegiate singers and work with accomplished conductors.

 

Students arrive for the festival Thursday, Aug. 2, when they will check in and begin their stay at Cal Poly. Throughout the weekend they will take part in rehearsals, live in campus housing and get a chance to experience some of the culture of San Luis Obispo.

 

“The event is intended to give the students the full college experience and simulate what it is like to be a music major at Cal Poly,” Glysson said.

 

Mission San Luis Obispo is at 751 Palm St. in downtown San Luis Obispo. The concert is free and open to the public; no tickets or advanced reservations are required. Donations will be accepted at the door to support the Cal Poly Choral Program.

 

The concert is sponsored by Cal Poly’s Music Department, College of Liberal Arts and Instructionally Related Activities program. For more information, call the Music Department at 805-756-2406 or visit its calendar website at music.calpoly.edu/calendar/.
