An All-State-Style Choral Experience
for Adults
REMEMBER WHAT it felt like...
...to stand shoulder to shoulder with incredible singers.
...to lose yourself in music that gave you chills.
...to walk off stage knowing you had just created something beautiful.
Maybe that was in high school.
Maybe college.
Maybe years ago.
Since then, life got busy.
Careers happened.
Kids happened.
And somewhere along the way...
that part of you got left behind.
We're building a way back
No year-long commitment or weekly rehearsals.
Just one unforgettable weekend of top-tier choral singing with top-tier people.
At some point, choir was where you found your people. It challenged you and inspired you. Most of all, it became part of who you were.
Even today, you can still hear certain pieces and remember exactly where you were standing. We know you miss that feeling.
So do we.

Meet Artistic Director, Dr. J.D. Frizzell
For more than twenty years I've had the privilege of conducting choirs, composing music, building events, and watching singers experience the kind of moments that stay with them for the rest of their lives.
One question has stayed with me:
Why does that experience have to end after college?
Why isn't there a place where adults can return—not every Tuesday night, but for one extraordinary weekend of music-making with other passionate singers who want to experience choral excellence again?
I'm not convinced that place exists yet, so I'm exploring whether we can build it together.
