Northwest Vocal Arts is a nonprofit choral organization focused on musical excellence and youth mentorship through professional and community-based vocal ensembles.
Each summer, Northwest Vocal Arts offers a Summer Choral Academy for youth, with additional year-round programs for students in grades 8–12 and high school choral apprentices.
Programs and rehearsals are held in the Rose City Park neighborhood of northeast Portland.
Middle and high school singers develop choral and solo vocal skills at this week-long summer intensive at Rose City Park United Methodist Church. Daily rehearsals, sectionals, small group lessons, and mentorship from Northwest Vocal Arts professionals lead to a public performance and dinner. All skill levels welcome—no singing experience required. After care available.
