About Adventures in Harmony:
Since its inception in 2015, Adventures in Harmony continues to build momentum year after year. This event is a daytime clinic and evening showcase performance for local high school students led by a master conductor. The event alternates annually between soprano/alto and tenor/bass singers, with the cost of venue, sheet music, and clinician provided by the chorale.
This opportunity has gained the attention of music educators in the greater Holland/Lakeshore area. Holland Chorale adult singers mentor the students at the clinic and perform in the evening showcase. Reactions from students and adult participants have been very favorable and enthusiastic.
After a two-year hiatus due to COVID, we are thrilled to be able to offer Adventures in Harmony again this fall! The event returns on Tuesday, October 4, 2022 for treble voices under the leadership of Dr. Kimberly Dunn Adams, Director of Choral Activities at Western Michigan University (https://wmich.edu/music/directory/adams). A Showcase Concert will be presented by the mass choir of students as well as performances from the Holland Chorale and other soloists and ensembles from the area.
A Community Enhancement Program grant for the Macatawa Coordinating Council helped to make this event possible.
