Summer choral camp planned at Northwestern

June 21, 2021

Students in grades second through ninth - join us for a two-week summer choral camp July 19-29!

Northwestern Oklahoma State University will play host to a choral summer camp for students in grades second through ninth interested in singing with Dr. Karsten Longhurst, assistant professor of music and director of choral music on the Alva campus.

The two-week summer camp will be held at the Northwestern campus in Alva July 19-29 from 1-3 p.m. in Ryerson Hall 200 and the J.W. Martin Library annex. The campers will rehearse Monday through Thursday where singers will perform, learn musical knowledge and develop musical skills to sing in many genres including pop, musical theatre and more. At the end of the two-week camp, the students will perform a mini concert planned for July 29 at 1 p.m. in the J.W. Martin Library annex, open to the public.

Longhurst said the students will be able to improve their singing, performing and musicianship through attending this camp. He also noted there will be solo opportunities at the culminating concert.

Cost for the camp is $75 for each singer to attend or $125 to attend the camp plus receive three extra private vocal lessons from Longhurst. The attendees will also receive a T-shirt.
