IllinoiSings is a symposium for all high school aged choirs and choir singers to experience a full day of clinics designed for students and teachers alike. These students will have the opportunity to work with professors and graduate students from the departments of Choirs at Illinois and others, and expand their knowledge of choral singing through clinics and masterclasses taught in various styles.
