Christian Heritage Chorale
This is a unique opportunity for homeschoolers of the Northwest to blend their voices to the Glory of God. Students, ages 13 and older, are welcome but need a basic ability to read music and sing a part. Chorale instruction & practice will take place during two one hour Chorale Workshop sessions each day. The chorale will be performing three selections at the closing session on Saturday afternoon.
Instructor – Neil Craig
Mr. Craig has wide and varied professional musical experience, including being for many years the music director for Back to the Bible Broadcasts. In addition, he and his family served for several years as the directors for Russian orphanages in Moscow, Russia, and in Indianapolis, Indiana. He and his musically talented wife Mary are the homeschooling parents of five musically talented children, ages 16-20. As a family they delight in serving the Lord and in glorifying Him through vocal & instrumental song together.
As part of the Christian Heritage Conference, Washington homeschool youth are especially privileged to be able to learn from this superb musician, arranger, instructor, and director.
