High school students with an interest in studying Worship Arts at Concordia University Ann Arbor are invited to join Worship Arts Day on Feb. 15-16, 2019.
Including an optional overnight with CUAA student chaperones, the immersive experience begins on Friday, Feb. 15 at 4:30 p.m. and concludes with a final worship for family and friends on Sat., Feb. 16 at 3 p.m., allowing created ensembles to demonstrate what they have learned.
Worship Arts Day will give high school students time to engage with Worship Arts professionals through instrument specific sessions as well as a chance to play with a fully formed ensemble. Breakout sessions will include specific instruction on voice, guitar, keyboard, and percussion, as well as songwriting and creative use of hymns.
“We want to give high school students the opportunity to hone their skills, meet new friends, and share an uplifting learning experience that they will remember for years to come,” said CUAA’s Director of Church Music and Worship Arts Dr. John Boonenberg, who joined Concordia’s faculty in 2017.
Worship Arts Day participants will also interact with Concordia’s faculty and students in collaborative workshops on ensemble rehearsal, performance, and songwriting, as well as devotional time for biblical song analysis and study.
Students will also have time for fellowship and to learn more about the program offerings within the CUAA music department.
