RENÉ CLAUSEN CHORAL SCHOOL OFFERS SCHOLARSHIPS

High school choral conductors completing their first or second year
may apply for free tuition at the René Clausen Choral School to be
held July 21-25, 2007 on the campus of Concordia College in Moorhead,
Minnesota.

"We wanted to create an opportunity to reinforce new conductors and
provide them with collegial inspiration from the Choral School
clinicians and other participants," stated Clausen. Application
deadline is May 31st and complete details are found online at
www.reneclausen.com.

One of last year's scholarship recipients, Dan Van Sickle of Xavier
High School, Wisconsin commented that "There was so much energy,
passion, and knowledge under one roof." Katherine Boose, another
recipient, mentioned that "my musical spirit was affirmed and
energized by all who offered their passion for collaborative ensemble
singing. I made lifelong friends!"

In addition to presentations and rehearsals by Dr. Clausen, Anton
Armstron and Craig Arnold will participate as guest clinicians.
Lectures, rehearsals and presentations will focus on the theme "Take
Your Tradition to New Heights."

Now in its tenth year, over 700 choral conductors from 46 states and
4 countries have participated in the René Clausen Choral School.

As opposed to a workshop format, Dr. Clausen has specifically created
a "choral school" with more lecture hours and intense content to
increase the participant's knowledge of style, literature,
performance practice issues, and conducting and rehearsal technique.
Three graduate semester hour credits are offered.
