Our Difference
Now in its eighth year, The Choral Chameleon Institute is designed to immerse emerging composers and conductors of choral music in the intricacies of the choral idiom in a nurturing environment surrounded by respected professionals. It gives students an opportunity to explore and experiment with writing and conducting techniques in a ‘best-case scenario’. Generous lab and podium time is given to all participants to ensure maximum practical and hands-on experience. The spirit of innovation married with a traditional perspective on matters of musicianship work in tandem to provide our students with skills that can enable unlimited thinking.

For Composers:
With an intake of up to TWELVE composers per session, we offer a small student-teacher ratio. Composers benefit from MULTIPLE reading sessions with our lab choir of professionals, many of whom are themselves composers, arrangers, conductors and teachers - providing an unparalleled quality of dialogue. The layout of the program from Day 1 to Day 8 is designed to give enough time for students to study and write while also offering enriching classes and experiences to help stimulate the creative process and inspire the students. During the course of the Institute, many new pieces of choral music are cultivated and are ultimately publicly performed.
