NASHVILLE | JULY 27-AUGUST 3
Harrington to direct Honors Chorus
Harmony University 2014 will offer more ways for more to people to find their own unique kinds of barbershop bliss. For some, that will mean a week of coaching in the Quartet College; for others, it will be exploring their own vocal capabilities through personalized vocal instruction; and for some, it will be singing in an elite ensemble conducted by a world-class director.
No faculty member is coming from farther away than Doug Harrington, our newest HU faculty member. The baritone of 1989 International Quartet Champion Second Edition, Doug is a master of interpretation, phrasing, and tuning. As the front line director of the impeccably clean zero8 chorus of Stockholm, Sweden, Doug has produced two CDs, multiple SNOBS titles, and a bronze medal in Portland.
The Honors Chorus will appear as a featured ensemble on the Saturday Night Show. Application for this chorus will be by audition and is open to Society members only. As a member of the Honors Chorus, you will be expected to arrive at Harmony U ready to sing, with music already memorized, so that the week-long experience will move quickly past fundamentals to excellence.
Audition materials will be available soon.
