Other Opportunities

Festival 500 Choral Institute

Earn graduate credit through the Festival 500 Choral Institute!

Festival 500 and Memorial University of Newfoundland offer opportunities for graduate study through the Festival 500 Choral Institute. Memorial’s Faculty of Education and School of Music collaborate to offer a complement of three graduate courses in the areas of choral conducting, vocal/choral pedagogy and singing traditions and practices.  Through guided and mentored participation in both The Phenomenon of Singing International Symposium VIII and the choral festival, graduate students can expand their knowledge of and experience with all aspects of singing… and earn graduate credit at the same time! Capacity is limited so be sure to enquire about this opportunity and register early. Please check back periodically for additional information and application procedures. Separate fee structure applies.
