What is the AWAKE Choral Festival?

The AWAKE Choral Festival is a choir festival that is hosted by AWAKE (Association of Wisconsin Area Kodaly Educators). You can see more about the history of AWAKE and what we stand for in the 'About Us' tab. This festival has been going on for over two decades and allows directors the opportunity to bring children between 4th and 8th grade together to sing. The choral festival always brings in a guest clinician who is an expert in the field of choral music. They work with the kids to help strengthen their abilities to sing and share music.

What will your child gain from being a part of this festival?

Your child will be given more difficult music and learn to sing in parts if they have not already learned how. If they have learned how they also have the opportunity to work on even more difficult repertoire and hear a fantastic high school guest choir perform.
Children get to work with experts in the area of children's choirs.
Children build strong relationships not only with other members of their school participating, but also other elementary and middle school children from surrounding schools.
Make new friends and strengthen existing relationship with current singers.
