Regional chorus Blue Ridge Vocal Connection is hosting its second annual one-day vocal skills workshop, Blue Ridge Choral Connection, on Saturday, March 15, 2025.
This year’s keynote speaker is world-class New York City vocal coach Justin Stoney. Organizers say if you’ve never heard of him, watch one of his 200+ vocal technique YouTube videos. You’ll want to register as soon as you see the first one.
Stoney will kick off the workshop with a warmup and then work with individual singers one-on-one throughout the day. Early admission through February is $30. Details, including a workshop schedule and a link to tickets are at blueridgevocalconnection.com.
Other sessions will feature small-group rehearsals of original choral arrangements, introductory music reading, directing, etc. But the highlight will be the closing concert where participants will entertain each other with music learned during the day and join in an all-voices performance of an original medley of The Sound of Music and You’ll Never Walk Alone.
The location is Northside Presbyterian Church, 1017 Progress Street, NW, Blacksburg, VA 24060.
