Registration

Registrations will be accepted until the festival is filled.

The UW-Whitewater Music Department is pleased to welcome Dr. Sharri VanAlstine, Professor of Choral Music Education, to a permanent position within our faculty. Sharri is a veteran public school teacher, having taught for ten years in Minnesota public schools as well as two years at an international school in Germany. She holds a PhD in Music Education from the University of Minnesota.

This year’s festival will once again take place in the Music Department’s Light Recital Hall, one of southern Wisconsin’s finest mid-sized concert halls. As in previous years, outstanding student soloists from your choir will have the opportunity to be coached by UW-W voice faculty. Students who are interested should prepare two selections, one of which must be an art song or aria (any language). There is no separate registration fee for this program, but interested students must fill out a separate Outstanding Soloist Registration form (attached) and return it by October 15.  

Please return your Festival Registration Form via US Mail by October 10 to:
