What to Expect at MMVA’s Summer Choral Showcase- Youth Choir Program




A behind-the-scenes look at a joyful summer music experience


Making Music Vocal Arts is thrilled to welcome middle and high school singers to our Summer Choral Showcase, a project-based youth choir opportunity that captures the spirit of summer through song. Whether you’re returning to MMVA or joining us for the first time, here’s a look at what you can expect from this exciting opportunity—no audition required!


What Is the Summer Choral Showcase?

The Summer Choral Showcase is a fast-paced, 4-day musical experience for students entering grades 7–12. Singers will explore and perform choral pieces centered around the seasonal theme “Poetry of Summer.” It’s a celebration of connection, creativity, and collaboration, culminating in a final showcase open to family and friends.


Rehearsals: Where the Magic Begins

Our rehearsals are designed to be energetic, focused, and fun! Here’s the schedule:

  • Wednesday, June 18 | 6:00–8:00 PM

  • Thursday, June 19 | 6:00–8:00 PM

  • Friday, June 20 | 6:00–8:00 PM

  • Location: Community United Methodist Church, Elm Grove, WI


Singers will:

  • Learn vocal technique and ensemble skills

  • Work on part-singing and expressive phrasing

  • Collaborate with peers from across the area

  • Build confidence in a supportive musical environment


The Final Performance

The Showcase wraps up with a concert on Saturday, June 21 at 2:00 PM (call time 12:30). This performance is more than just a recital—it's a joyful celebration of each singer’s growth, effort, and artistry over the project.
