Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, SACRA/PROFANA will provide a week-long Summer Choral Intensive for middle & high school students. Students will work alongside SACRA/PROFANA singers to prepare for and perform a world premiere composition by Dr. Brandon Waddles, noted Black American composer, based on James Baldwin’s life and texts.

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.
