Participants
The Workshop is open to singers from age 14 to senior citizens who have some choral experience and can sing in time and in tune from a score. This is a convivial but hard-working workshop. Participation will be limited to 40 singers, on a first-come, first-served basis. After 40 registrations, a waiting list will be kept in the event any early registrants find they must withdraw. Your payment will be your registration commitment. Full refunds will be available through June 15.
Venue and schedule
The Workshop takes place again this year at Trinity Episcopal Church in Fayetteville, New York (near Syracuse). Our warmest thanks to the rector and vestry of Trinity. The weekend runs from Thursday at 2 pm to Sunday at about 9pm, including a pot-luck supper on Saturday evening, singing as guest choir for Trinity's Sunday morning service, and a recital open to the public on Sunday evening. Singing at the Sunday morning service is in appreciation of Trinity's hospitality to us.

Free tuition for young singers
Free Workshop tuition is available to a limited number of young singers, from age 14 through college age. High school students (if in New York) should have attained at least Level 5 in NYSSMA solos. The application process includes a teacher's recommendation. Schola is eager to give young singers exposure to the pleasures of singing early music.Potentially interested young singers, or their teachers or ensemble directors, are urged to contact Schola's music director, Barry Torres, at
btorres@stlawu.edu
The application form for young singers (which includes Mr. Torres' mailing address and telephone) appears below.
Free tuition for young singers is through the generosity of donors to the Bruce Memorial Scholarship Fund. Dr. Kenneth Bruce, who died in 2002, had sung with Schola Cantorum for many years and was very supportive and helpful to young singers who joined the group.
Housing and meals
Housing and meals are on your own. A list of nearby hostelries appears below. Eating out in groups is one of the pleasures of this workshop, with the natives guiding the visitors to convenient and inexpensive local eating places. (Free housing in the homes of Schola members may be available to young singers.)
Registration form
Please print out and complete the registration form that appears below, and mail it, with your check, to Eileen Allen. Your check for $185 ($210 after June 15) should be payable to Schola Cantorum. (If you are a young singer requesting free tuition, please so indicate!) Eileen Allen,
