Summer Honor Choir

If you are a talented and experienced high school choral singer, we invite you to be a part of the Harding Summer Honor Choir. Your week at Harding will give you an opportunity to work intensively in choral music and related fields, simulating a college-level music experience. You'll live in university housing and eat your meals in campus dining facilities. Each day you'll study sight singing, music literature, and how to present yourself as a performer. You'll also rehearse some great choral literature, preparing for a final concert. There will also be special performances and events, devotionals and recreational activities. And you'll receive, at no extra charge, one hour of college credit in Music 131 (Chorus). Partial scholarships are available for you if you are an all-region or all-state chorus member.

Choral Impact

New Harding students who are interested in singing in one of Harding's choral ensembles are invited to participate in Choral Impact, to be held August 16-19 on the Harding campus.

Choral Impact will provide an introduction to Harding's choral program and an opportunity to audition for membership in an ensemble.  In addition, participants will be able to attend most of the activities of Harding's Student Impact (www.harding.edu/impact), which runs concurrently with Choral Impact and offers a general orientation to campus life, along with special entertainment and social events.

During Choral Impact, students will be able to move into the dormitory rooms which they will occupy in the fall semester.  The cost is $95, which covers housing, meals, entertainment, instruction, and souvenir items.
