Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, SACRA/PROFANA will provide up to 90 high school students and 50 middle school students with an immersive week-long Summer Choral Intensive (SCI) training program, culminating in a performance alongside SACRA/PROFANA’s core chorus of professional singers. The program goals are to develop both musicianship and leadership skills of participating youth from diverse backgrounds in San Diego County and to inspire the students to continue arts involvement.
Organization Summary
San Diego’s only year-round professional chorus, SACRA/PROFANA was founded in 2009 by New York native Krishan Oberoi, quickly rose to become “San Diego’s go-to choral ensemble” (U-T San Diego). Described by KPBS as “choral music for the iPod generation”, the dynamic choral group has collaborated with the Chieftains, Producer Carlton Cuse (of ABC’s hit show Lost), Japanese composer Nobou Uematsu, and many other prominent creative minds.
The SACRA/PROFANA Education Outreach programs strive to aid teachers and students in the pursuit of knowledge in music, discipline, focus, language skills and community. We do this through:
* Residencies and workshops for middle and high school choruses,
* Seminars for the high school level coupled with concerts side-by-side with our core professional chamber choir,
* Middle and high school presentations on the voice, music and singing, and
* The Summer Choral Intensive, one of San Diego’s most sought after summer vocal programs for high school and middle school singers.
