EKU Choral Day 2023


Thursday, September 21, 2023

EKU’s annual High School Choral Day is a one-day event that welcomes over 400 students from throughout the state to prepare for the Kentucky All-State Choir audition. One to two additional pieces are included to provide additional learning opportunities and a variety of musical experiences. The day features choir sectionals, full rehearsals, and a performance of the selected repertoire. EKU choral faculty Dr. Richard Waters and Dr. Jill Campbell serve as the clinicians for the event. Students will also hear brief performances by the EKU Choirs and have the opportunity to interact with EKU choral students and voice faculty. The event takes place at the EKU Center for the Arts.

In order to ensure a positive, rewarding experience for all students, participants must commit to staying for the entire day.
