Bella Voce’s Polyphony Camp, an interactive and immersive choral experience, returns! Participants will learn the ins-and-outs of singing polyphony in sessions led by Artistic Director Andrew Lewis. The weekend concludes with a free performance for friends and family.

All skill levels welcome—no prior singing experience necessary!

Participants in the two-day camp will: 

• Learn all about polyphony (a composition style that weaves multiple independent melodic lines into a rich sonic tapestry), in workshops led by artistic director Andrew Lewis. The 2027 camp will focus on settings of the Latin Mass.

• Sing together, conducted by Lewis and supported by Bella Voce members.

• Socialize with your fellow campers and Bella Voce members during Saturday’s lunch break. Lunch will be provided.

• Experience the joy of choral singing.

• Perform in a free concert for family and friends at Bella Voce’s home concert venue, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Evanston.
