Gardner-Webb Hosts 34th Annual Choral Clinic


Last Modified: 05/11/2012

The Department of Music at Gardner-Webb University recently held its 34th annual choral clinic for high school singers, treating 185 students from 20 regional high schools to a daylong workshop under guest clinician Dr. Brad Holmes of Millikin University. The students then performed a concert for the general public that evening alongside the Gardner-Webb Concert Choir and Chorale.

“I think this is just a terrific endeavor for Gardner-Webb to take on,” added Holmes, the clinician. “This shows that Gardner-Webb is reaching into the community to give local choirs a platform from which to work. I really admire what Paul Etter has done to develop this and to strengthen and encourage music programs around the region.”

According to Dr. Paul Etter, director of choral activities and coordinator of sacred music at Gardner-Webb, the insights that high school students gain from the guest clinicians at the Choral Clinic, and the experience of singing alongside college choirs, are invaluable.
