EXPRESSIVE ARTS
ONTARIO COLLEGE GRADUATE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
Full- and part-time options
Expressive Arts offer people of all ages the opportunity to
express themselves through art, craft, writing, music, movement, and narrative arts. Getting through life’s challenges
and crossroads is often difficult. While traditional therapies
and counselling are helpful, sometimes at these moments
we need to tap into our deepest creative self to deal with our
feelings and emotions. Fleming’s Ontario Graduate Certificate
in Expressive Arts is a helpful addition to the counselling,
teaching, or ministry you currently offer others. As a teacher,
artist, nurse, social worker, minister, or someone in a caring
profession, you will benefit from knowing how to facilitate the
development and transformation of the people in your care,
through expressive arts.
Full-time program: April 22 to June 14, 2013.

Abstract Painting – Emerging Forms Workshop**

Judith Mason
April 13, 2013
$102.18
SECTION 49
LOCATION Peterborough
This workshop approaches abstract painting as a process of
discovery through the appearance and disappearance of form.
You will work through a method of painting that allows forms to
emerge from underneath the surface of your work. Without using
analysis or criticism you will allow your paintings to take their own
shape without reference to visual objects or traditional rules of
perspective. This workshop invites you to experience painting as
an organic way of working intuitively. During a process of repetition, transformation occurs and forms emerge. These emerging
forms construct their own language. This pictorial practice seeks
to access the subject/painter’s inner life, to communicate raw,
gut, felt, yet difficult to name visceral experience.

Lettering can have a very artful presence in a wide range of
applications. Enjoy a serious study of the structures of written
letters, leading to play with free-form styles. Make a ‘cola’ pen
for lettering on cards, signs, in artwork, hand-made books, or
any other projects you would want to incorporate lettering in.
You will also design and create a painting using acrylic washes
and lettering. There will be a $20 material fee payable to the
instructor.

SECTION 49
LOCATION Peterborough
Please note: This workshop is not suitable for beginners to
drawing but does not require portrait experience.
Create faces that express personality and really say something
about your subject. Move beyond reproducing a likeness and into
producing forceful portraits that convey meaning and emotion.
Learn to feel your way into an image, and let go of preconceived
notions of how a face should look or what your work should be
like. Lessons will include exercises to loosen up and come from
a place of true expression. Although some drawing experience
is required, it is not necessary to be experienced or competent
at drawing or painting portraits. Initial work will be done using
charcoal and graphite, after which you are free to use whatever
medium you prefer.

range of projects including jewellery, hats, scarves, hair and
fashion embellishments, flowers, vessels, handbags, and more.
There will be a $25 material fee payable to the instructor.

Cassandra Wyszkowski
April 13, 2013
LOCATION Peterborough
$102.18
This unique workshop is suitable for the beginner painter or the
seasoned artist and is designed to introduce the fascinating world
of Japanese brush painting (known as sumi-é). Instruction in this
water-based medium will emphasize various brush techniques,
gradation of tones/values to achieve depth, brush control that
develops spontaneous expression, and effective simplicity in
composition and design. This stimulating technique can be
expressed in an abstract or a more representational approach,
with an overlying impressionistic, personal style that encourages
the creative spirit. Potters and fabric painters who wish to beautify
their work with expressive brush strokes will also benefit from this
instruction. Beautiful soft flowing music will underpin the learning
process by adding a peaceful atmosphere. There will be a $35
material fee payable to the instructor.

This course is for any artist with an interest in landscape or
environmental issues. By creating a body of work that challenges
current notions of belonging and our place in the world, you will
begin to imagine a new relationship to nature, one that respects
and accommodates all life forms. Begin by examining the elements
used in traditional European landscape painting, such as framing,
the relationship between background/foreground and the use of
the sublime. Reference the land-based art of Richard Serra, Andy
Goldsworthy, Robert Smithson, and the practices of contemporary regional environmental artists. Through site visits, learn to
transform your on-site experience into environment art and develop
an environmental art practice. Discover how to curate, or care for, a
specific site through an environmental art practice.

No rules, no preconceptions, no “getting it right.” Non-traditional
tools, materials, and marks lead to new ways to challenge
ourselves to see any object, including the human body. All those
lessons in perspective, proportion, shadows, anatomy – we’ll
ignore those and approach drawing in a much different way.
Drawing alone and in collaboration with others allows you to play
in experimental and non-judgmental ways. The result is a fresh
perspective and unique creative development. This course is

This course provides the opportunity to take in some of the most
stimulating contemporary art Toronto has to offer, and then return
to the studio to materialize your inspiration. Few of us get out to
see the galleries as often as we’d like or feel we should. Perhaps
you’re curious, but find the contemporary galleries intimidating
or perplexing. Maybe you’re not sure where to go. Or you know
where to go but would like to engage with the work at the
deeper level that group discussion, some context and focused
studio response can provide. With the classroom as home base,
different exhibitions will be attended and discussed each day,
and then you will work in the studio to process and integrate what
you’ve seen. Open-ended prompts will give you both a way in
to the issues addressed by the work you saw as well as enough
creative latitude to explore your own personal responses. There’s

The location of this course in a bustling urban setting, invites
comment on humanity/urbanity. You will be coached to
look around your model, to the physical, psychological and
architectural spaces encircling them. Part of each day will be
spent sketching the model in street level contexts using small
sketchbooks (digital camera optional). Afterward, in the studio,
sketches are reworked into larger formats. The model is also
available indoors during studio time, to take poses upon request.
You can work in the media(s) of your choice, as you experiment
with image making. The organization of forms in space is strongly
emphasized, and studio discussion asks: is the design dynamic;
is the content supported by material matter; and inevitably: is
the work resolved? You will be required to bring a few examples
of your artworks to help the instructor situate your work. Photos

Painting is rife with rules. What colours to use together, where
to position elements, what tools to use – in short, what, when,
how and why to paint what you paint. While all artistic rules exist
for a reason, none is absolute: art thrives on the unexpected,
sublime solution that renders rules moot. Through lectures,
examples of masterworks and group discussion, examine five of
painting’s key conventions. Open-ended exercises will challenge
you to first create work harnessing the truth of the rule, and then,
discerningly, breaking that same rule. Regardless of your level of
experience, this course will deepen your appreciation for why the
rules exist, as well bolster your creativity in pushing beyond them.
The best broken rule is an understood rule.

The art of encaustic painting was practiced by Ancient Greeks,
Romans and Egyptians as many as 2500 years ago and is still
practised today. The term encaustic denotes the use of wax as
an artistic medium. The combination of pigment, beeswax and
varnishes creates beautifully luminous paintings. Once a lost art,
it is gaining more and more popularity and recognition. Many
contemporary artists are exploring the versatility of the medium

including various yarn compositions and structures. Discover a
specific felting procedure that ensures the lace stability and the
recordable shrinkage in each felt lace piece. Several samples
will be made, exploring different yarn densities and different lace
types. The gradation of these exercises will constitute a baseline
to lead choices for creating a larger personal felt lace project.
The overall experience will benefit from the group’s results. From

challenging your creative mind with this new and outstanding
lace making technique. If you are an experience spinner, you

Kilts are becoming more and more

making, however, is regarded even
by experienced professional tailors
as the most difficult and complex
skill in their trade, and alterations or
repairs viewed as being even more
challenging. During this course you
will complete a 4- or 5-yard ‘casual’
kilt as you are guided in every step
of the art of kilt making. Those who
are left-handed are particularly
encouraged to apply, as none of the
‘DIY’ kilt making books currently
available will address their needs. There will be a $30 material
fee payable to the instructor and you will be required to bring
kilt fabric – either 4 to 5 yards of single-width or 2 to 3 yards
of double-width cloth. This will represent a substantial investment – please refer to the pre-course package for guidelines

SECTION 41
This course offers a completely different approach to the compelling beauty of watercolour monoprints. ‘Impasto’ means to layer,
and it is this thick application of pigments and the manipulation
of the different colours in layers, that gives these prints the rich
textured look of oils along with a wide range of unique options
for the realization of an image unlike any other medium. You
will learn how to use the etching press, the impasto process for
plate and paper preparation, the correct way to sign and number
your prints, how to do these prints at home without a press
and approximately six different exciting approaches to impasto
monoprinting. As with Watercolour Monotype, you need not have
previous experience with printmaking or watercolour to achieve
beautiful results. If you have previously taken PrintmakingWatercolour Monotype, please bring your plates from that class.
There will be a $47 material fee payable to the instructor.

SECTION 41
Please note: This course is not suitable for beginners.
The dance technique offered in this class includes modifying
basic steps for unusual movements, dancing smoothly from one
type of step to another, and expanding the repertoire of travelling
and setting steps. New formations will be introduced as well
as unusual variations of more common ones. At this level, you
should already be able to dance virtually all traditional dances
after only a quick briefing. New challenges will be offered through
recently composed dances arising within this tradition, keeping
it fresh and alive. Some attention will be given to dance notation.
You are especially encouraged to develop your visual imagination of the dance patterns and to increase your sensitivity to the
beauty and intricate designs of this flowing artform. Teamwork is
essential, and you will be challenged to initiate and respond to
movement through subtle cues, to master the art of recovery from
mistakes, to realize the important link between relaxation and
competence, to learn more and more to enhance the joy of confident participation, not just for yourself, but for others as well. The
musical focus at this level includes learning to understand and
recognize the different types of dance tunes, including proper
reels, hornpipes, Scotch Measures, polkas, single, double and
triple jigs, marches, strathspeys, waltzes, slow airs, and songs.
Advanced dancers will already know the benefit of warming up
and cooling down, and will participate in these exercises on a
regular basis.
This course will run simultaneously with Scottish Country
Dancing – Intermediate. Please clearly indicate which level you
are registering for.
An important part of this course is improving the 5 basic steps
while also mastering new ones. Equally important are the
opportunities to ‘polish’ many common formations (such as
reels, poussettes, allemandes, promenades and corner figures),
to phrase these formations more accurately, cover within the
set more effectively, and enhance the smooth flow from one
formation to the next. Some less common formations will also
be introduced and practiced. A general sense of fun is encouraged, and sociability is enhanced through dancing with others
of different skill levels for part of each day. As increased musical
knowledge usually promotes better and more enjoyable dancing,
time each day is devoted to exploring the music of Scottish
Country Dancing. This musical focus includes fitting the steps to
the music, and fitting the formations to the phrases. Care is given
to warm-ups and cool-downs each day to preserve good health
for all.

”Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes and the grass grows
by itself.” (Zenrin).
When we provide the right conditions for ourselves, we open
the door to growth. Tapping into our creativity provides a natural
source of imagery and energy to use for healing and personal
expression. This course will introduce you to the theory and
practice of the expressive arts. If you are working in the human
service field, you will learn about the applicability of visual arts,
music, writing, movement and theatre to your work settings.

Turner’s dashing, daring sea, sky and weather scenes of 1840
seem fresh and modern even to contemporary eyes. Learn to
paint this magical quality of light, capturing the world as luminous
movement in colour and gesture. In your choice of the naturalistically real or abstract image, you will employ J.M.W. Turner’s
practice of layering. Build the texture of the painting through
techniques of texturing, scraping, floating, scumbling, glazing,
and wiping to balance translucent and opaque colour for effects
of glow, opalescence and luminosity. Turner’s sketching methods
will be employed to create large work in oil or acrylic. Explore
contemporary applications for a personal and creative interpretation from Turner’s influence on Monet, the Impressionists and the
Abstract Expressionists. Instruction is suited to acrylic and/or oil
paints (no solvents).

Have you ever wished you could spend several days just focusing
on increasing your throwing skills? Do you feel that you have
‘hit the wall’ in terms of being able to throw...more efficiently,
bigger pieces, more consistently, looser pots, tighter pots? This
course will encourage and challenge you to learn new throwing
techniques, increase your throwing skills, and practice, practice, practice. Throwing is a physical skill. It requires proper
technique, good tools, and proper care of your body. Through a

Prerequisite: Weaving Basic I, or the ability to set up a loom and
weave with a minimum of direction. This course is not suitable for
beginners who have never woven before.
This course introduces basic 4 harness weaves such as twills,
herringbones, and texture weaves – the base almost all weaving
is built on. Weave a patchwork sampler (to become a runner
or made into throw cushions) that uses varied threadings and
treadlings to create remarkably different weaves, and that will
become a valuable reference for future weaving. From this
you’ll design a second project of your choice using one or more
weaves for a small project (e.g. scarf, runner) to be completed
during the course, or weave a detailed sample for a larger project
to complete on your own (jacket fabric, blanket, upholstery, or
other.) Being hands-on, with instruction geared to individual
abilities and interests, this course is a great way to expand your
treadling dexterity and familiarity with weaves. A half day loom
maintenance and tuning-up session is included to help you
understand how looms work and how to have them work well for
you. Materials to weave the sampler will be available for purchase
from the instructor but if you have cottons, wools, or other yarns
that you would like to use for your second project please bring
them. You may bring your own 4 harness floor loom, or use one
of the school’s. Please indicate upon registration if you require
a loom. The sampler material fee will be $50, payable to the

Observe and render the model in different contexts and repetitive
poses, both in the studio and outdoors. This is an excellent practice in the development of sketches into strong figurative designs.
You are invited to work in one medium of choice and/or in mixed
media – combining and juxtaposing in sequence: dry, water
based, acrylic and/or oil materials. Emphasis is placed on working
and reworking the composition before the painting is developed,
and then on building paint surface. Attention is directed to finding
and losing definition, sensitivity to mark-making, layering, varying
edges and exploiting a personal touch. At the end of each day
you have the option of using a variety of techniques to mute the
day’s accumulated details, in preparation for the next day’s work.
Constructive critique and discussion address subjects such as
how to evaluate the design; how to build up and reduce paint
surface, and inevitably: when is a painting finished. You will be
required to bring a few examples of your artworks to help the
instructor place your work in a stylistic context and intuit your
individual technical needs. Photos and computer images can
be brought, but are less helpful. Studio work is supported by
visual presentations as well as group and individual critiques and
discussion.
As an advanced student you are invited to bring a project you
are working on, or through raising and fabrication, make more
complex forms. Explore hand formed handles, spouts and other
decorative elements of your own design. A working knowledge of
soldering, sawing and filing is necessary as you will work independently, with guidance from the instructor. You will be required to

This course explores the use of creativity in professional settings
and is ideal for teachers, care givers, community support workers,
or anyone who works with clients or community members in a
professional capacity. Creative interactions make learning fun,
open the hearts and minds of the children or adults you work
with, and create learning or living environment rich in empathy,
nurturing and personal growth. Through a series of art-making
projects using readily available materials, you will learn to
structure art-making activities that are stimulating, educational
and engaging. All projects begin with a specific material
interaction that activates personal memory and establishes a
visceral connection to each material such as paper, fabric, wool,
wood, mesh/metal, cardboard and a selection of found natural
materials. Continue your interaction by using the material to
create an art work that communicates an emotional response
to the particular past event, such as the loss of a partner, family
member or friend, experience of dislocation from change in living
environment, a chronic health condition or difficulty experienced
in a learning environment. If you are working with youth at a
shelter or group home, seniors at a retirement residence or
community centre, mentally or physically challenged children or
adults, ESL students who have limited English, hearing impaired
clients, those experiencing the loss of a loved one, or fostering
children in your own home, learn how to open the potential for
deep communication, creating a respectful and non-threatening
environment that invites the expression of life experiences, often

SECTION 41
Screen monoprinting is an innovative and unique printmaking
technique that satisfies both painters and printmakers. Brilliant
fabric dye is painted onto a silk screen in a spontaneous and
fluid manner. Once dry, a squeegee is used to pull clear medium
over the screen. The colours and unique surface textures are
spectacular and cannot be achieved through painting directly
on paper. This extremely versatile, fun and non-toxic technique
forces you to paint in a fresh and free manner. Those who have
stayed away from printmaking due to the technical aspect will
be amazed at the multi-coloured and painterly prints created
with such simplicity. This technique will be a good starting point
for those beginning their artistic journey, yet challenging to
seasoned artists. Upon mastering the basic techniques you will
then be challenged to expand the possibilities by using paper
stencils, layering, and combining the monoprints with lino cuts
and stamps of your creation. Experimentation is encouraged and
you’re welcome to bring fabric or papers to collage, and other
mark making mediums to combine with this versatile technique.

of belonging; our place in the world. Each day you will create
small individual art-works that address specific, current, cultural
ideas. The ideas are identified in short, assigned readings that
challenge contemporary notions of identity and an individual’s
sense of belonging in the broader culture. These ideas, all vital
concerns for a contemporary art-practice, include; the traditional
representation of landscape, notions of the body, our sense of
place, the idea of space and issues of memory. You will determine
what materials to use for each daily art-work to be completed.
Developing from this series of smaller works, you will create a
final project that responds to the contemporary notions discussed
throughout the course, with the objective of offering an alternative conception. A requirement for the final project is you use
materials and processes that are new to you. This course encourages you to think ‘outside the box’ and create works that are
challenging and problematic to the dominant cultural discourse.

necessary. You will be required to bring a film camera – this

to the excited, textural colour systems of a Varley. Landscape
inspires artists to express, but what to say and how to say it?

John Anderson is a veteran studio and on-location painter. His
excitement about the language and the process of painting
is infectious. When he is not managing Curry’s Art Store in
Barrie he is painting or teaching. John’s first major influence
was the work of Andrew Wyeth; later it was the Group of Seven
and Tom Thomson. His interest in the work of North American
impressionists such as Aldro Hibbard was followed by interest
in contemporary plein air painters like Matt Smith, David Curtis,
Trevor Chamberlain, Kevin MacPherson and Richard Schmid.
John’s work is a blend of many of these painters’, along with his
own interpretation of light and colour. His work is powerful and
filled with the mood of the moment. Light is fleeting – its impact
leaves a profound impression – learning to see that and capture
it in paint is John’s passion. John is represented by Ethyl Curry

Annette Blady Van Mil is a graduate of OCAD University. For
many years, she has worked as an architectural and interior
designer on many projects all over North America, but painting

media, found objects and stained glass. It is this diverse and
open-minded approach to media and materials that inspires
her mosaics and artwork. The popularity of the style she has
developed has allowed her to pursue art on a full- time basis.

then, she has been a self-employed designer and maker of
jewellery. Valerie has worked in many cooperative situations.
She spent a year as a resident at the Harbourfront Craft Studios
in Toronto, where she rented studio space, and taught classes
as well. Then a desire to get back to a more pastoral setting
took her to the Barrie area where she was one of the founding
members of Celeden Studios, a cooperative working space that

studio. Currently, Valerie’s work is exhibited and sold in selected

making as more of a personal exploration but can cover a wide
range of techniques and strategies for finding the right personal
musical goal. As a maker, he is represented by instruments and
bows across Canada, the US, England, and Germany. He has
maintained a professional practice of building and restoring since
1985 and has taught musical instrument construction since
1980 at OCAD University and later at the Haliburton School of
The Arts.
Carlos del Junco is one of those players whose music is so

Named Carlos”. This includes two Gold Medals from the Hohner

as multiple national awards. To say he plays the harmonica is
like saying “Jimi Hendrix plays guitar”. He blows the blues harp
through a prism – suddenly it seems he’s holding every colour
in the musical rainbow right there in his hands. Carlos has been
touring in Canada, the US and Europe for the last 15 years and
has also taught extensively both privately and small workshops.
This will be a unique opportunity to learn from one of the world’s

The Odyssey
with Stephanie Rayner
102
A 14 year project… a 30' long, 3-dimensional work of art
that is a boat… what does it mean? What is the significance
of the inclusion of 13 pairs of moose ribs, DNA sequencing
gels from The Human Genome Project, a mare’s pelvis, and a
150-year-old spirit level, among other unexpected articles? When
one undertakes a creation of this magnitude, over this length
of time, the artistic vision made real will have parallelled the
creator’s personal evolution. Challenges, fears and temptations
are countered by will, devotion and keeping faith – faith in the
process and one’s self as an artist. Being both enabled and
disabled by adherence to this artistic vision becomes one with the
evolution of both boat and soul. A stunning work of art unto itself,
The Boat of Eternal Return, as you will see, is also so very much
more.

I Do This Because...
with Brian Smith
Whenever Brian Smith meets someone and finds out their job,
or even their hobby, he is immediately curious to discover how
they got interested in doing that specific thing in their life. Who
was their shining light? What was the driving force that led them
to be a geologist, or an architect, or an orthodontist, or take up
the cello, or become a painter? And equally as important, what
keeps them doing it? Is it just habit? Or, hopefully, it has to do with
a passion. Maybe, if you asked them they would say: “I do this
because…”

There is an international camaraderie around this art form that
can exist in many ways. Sand has long been used as a metaphor
for impermanence, as water has been a symbol of transition.
John sometimes thinks of ephemeral art as an installation, but
feels it exists somewhere between conceptual art and permanent
art. He will share his experiences, knowledge, and a collection of
images that will express some of the magic and potential of this
fascinating form of art.

10 Business Tips for Artists
with Paul Portelli
More than any other business, your success will greatly depend
on how you deal with your customers and how you package
yourself. You are your own product. Sometimes what helps us to
be successful in our personal lives is not such a great idea in our
professional lives – competition is a quality that comes to mind.
We all have a limited amount of time each day to do the things
that we want to do. If you are operating a studio, the success or
failure will depend on your ability to reach and maintain the right
customers. However, it differs in the sense that you are primarily
selling yourself – your skills, your talents, and your capabilities.
Discover 10 essential things you need to know about running a
successful studio. Use it as a checklist to make sure your thinking
and your business plan are on the right track.
with Tammy Rea and Fay Wilkinson
People have been telling stories through artwork and the oral
tradition since the dawn of time. Times have changed and now
we can tell stories in ways our ancestors never dreamed of. We'll
take you on a journey of the art of narrative through the ages and
unveil the new dawn of powerful, digital storytelling.

Dryscaping in Canada
with John Shaw-Rimmington
Whereas ‘hardscaping’ (the structural part of landscaping) often
involves concrete products, ‘dryscaping’ is the art of building
walls, arches and various garden features structurally, without
any manmade materials, cement or adhesives. This presentation
will explore modern follies, bridges, and cairns and discuss
the direction dry stone walling is going in Canada. Particular
emphasis will be on the development of covered dry stone
installations and designs of artistic enclosures for the purposes of
creating a sense of place.
PLEASE WELCOME
TO THE STAGE...
Join us in the Great Hall from 5:30 to 6:30 pm.
Our entertainment is suitable for adults and children alike.

Rick Fines
Maureen McKay et al
Rick Fines has been playing
music professionally for 29
years now and is a veteran of
the folk and blues circuits in
North America. His song "Riley
Wants His Life Back" won first
place in the blues category of
the International Songwriting
Competition, with B.B. King as one of the judges! He won Maple
Blues Awards for Acoustic Act of the Year (twice) and Songwriter
of the Year. His work with Jackson Delta brought nominations
from both the Juno and the Handy Awards. Rick has toured
around the world sharing his understanding of blues, finger-style
and bottleneck guitar. His 11th recording, Solar Powered, was
recorded just south of Haliburton using solar power exclusively.

Music is an emotional experience
and few instruments stir an emotional
response as immediately and
thoroughly as the harp. The artful
beauty of the instrument is surpassed
only by the exquisite sounds that
Maureen creates with it. Her passion
as a harpist translates in her music
and also in her interaction with
the audience. A variety of songs will be interspersed with brief
dialogue regarding the instrument and its history. It’s hoped
that Maureen will be joined by one or more of her intermediate
students that are studying with her this week.

Cindy’s electrifying performances
have earned her a reputation as one
of Canada’s premiere combination
fiddle player/stepdancers. A former
national Canadian stepdance
champion and winner of numerous
fiddle awards, she performs in
her own inimitable style, full of
spontaneity, fun and musical
excellence. There is something for
everyone in her fiddling as she draws from Scottish, Irish, Cajun,
French Canadian, Bluegrass and Old Time fiddle styles. Her
two CD’s, Through the Gates and I Can Feel it in the Air, are still
receiving great reviews and Cindy is still enjoying a career that
has taken her to stages across North America for over 30 years.
Eve Goldberg
Eve's watercolour voice and solid
guitar style have become favourites
at festivals, folk clubs, and concert
series across Canada and the US.
Her performances are intimate
and relaxed, moving effortlessly
from folk classics to original gems,
all wrapped up in her clear, pure
voice and dynamic guitar playing.
Imagine a kitchen party where
Mother Maybelle Carter, Ella
Fitzgerald, Mississippi John Hurt,
Bessie Smith, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and Patsy Cline show
up, and you begin to get a sense this performance. Never one to
restrict herself to one genre of music, Eve performs a trademark
mixture of folk, blues, country, bluegrass, old time, and jazz.

Andy Rush and the
Choral Singers
Behold the power of the collective
voice! A group of individuals,
most meeting for the first time just
4 days prior to become part of
this choral group, will raise their
voices together in song. The result
will be extraordinary. Andy Rush’s
passion for performance and
music motivates his charges and
energizes entire rooms. You’ll witness and hear, but most of all
you’ll feel the remarkable phenomenon of the collective voice.
