Singspiration

Looking for an outstanding musical experience for your kids rounded out with fun, cool activities, and great people? You've found it!

Singspiration is an annual program sponsored by the Concordia School of Music that welcomes youth from grades 4 to 12 to a week long music camp. Throughout the week, participants have the chance to sing under a world-class choral conductor, meet friends from all across Alberta and Canada, and participate in fun activities such as art, handbells, swimming and outdoor games. Campers can choose to stay in residence or just attend as a day student. This award-winning program is an outstanding musical opportunity for young singers.

Established in 2000, Singspiration attracts outstanding choral and handbell clinicians and is fast becoming one of Alberta's best musical experiences. In October 2006, Singspiration was awarded the Patricia Cook Memorial Award "for exemplary service to advocacy in arts education in the province of Alberta." This award is given out each year by the Alberta Choral Federation, an organization that encourages and promotes the understanding and appreciation of choral music.

Singspiration has enjoyed the generous support of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, the William F. Lede Foundation, the Alberta Choral Federation, Handbells, Etc., and the Alberta Guild of English Handbell Ringers.

Information on this year's camp can be found here.
