A Cappella Through the Ages is our theme as we sing an intriguing selection of music from a diverse repertoire--Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Early American; 19th- and 20th-century part-songs; rounds, hymns, and folk-songs; jazz, pop, doo-wop, and improvisations.  As always, anything goes from Gesualdo to Gershwin!  What makes a Western Wind workshop unique is the focus on small ensembles.  In small groups, everyone makes an essential contribution as an individual singer.  Not only does this experience develop your listening and blending skills, it presents opportunities to show off your true vocal personality and color.  The work is much more intimate than in a chorus, and the amount of individual attention is incomparable.
