JACKSON HOLE, WYO – Well, it’s been spring for a few days now. Isn’t it time we had a music festival to celebrate?

Cathedral Voices has just announced the county’s first-ever Spring Music Festival taking place April 18-22. It will be a weeklong festival of choral music and music education that centers around renowned, guest conductor-in-residence, Dr. Jo-Michael Scheibe.

The Spring Festival includes discussions, workshops, and open rehearsals throughout the week, culminating with a gala concert in the Center Theater on April 22 7:00 pm. The Jackson Hole High School Concert Choir, Cathedral Voices Chamber Choirs, and the Jackson Hole Chorale, will each take the stage for the concert, ending with a combined chorus conducted by Scheibe.

Cathedral Voices choir members met and worked with Dr. Scheibe in New York City last year where they performed by invitation at Carnegie Hall, along with 10 other choirs across the United States and Canada.

Laura Huckin, Cathedral Voices artistic director, commented, “Rehearsing and performing under his direction in New York was an incredible opportunity. It inspired us to invite Dr. Scheibe to Jackson, Wyoming, where he could share and inspire students and adults in their musical quests.”
