Testimonials:
"I highly recommend the Vocal Arts Academy with I Cantori di Carmel. This experience offered me coachings, masterclass, and rehearsals with Music Director Daniel Henriks that was extremely valuable. If you are interested in oratorio and baroque music, the Academy will connect you with other young artists as well as musicians in the Carmel area to create a very positive shared experience." Michaela K.
"As a soloist with I Cantori's Vocal Arts Academy, I felt respected as a musician, supported by all faculty as I navigated my first Bach Oratorio, and grateful for adequate time to rest and explore the beautiful surrounding area during concert days. I would happily return to this company in the future." Julia P.
"Great experience and would recommend it to other singers! There are very few oratorio opportunities like this, and at the same time many singers who are interested in pursuing this...Y'all are in a great position!" Ryan B.
