Berkshire Choral International

Berkshire Choral International The BCI Experience elevates why you sing: Joy. Connection. Inspiration. Fun. Artistic Achievement. You bring your voice and a spirit of adventure.

Berkshire Choral International expands the horizons of singers through participation in exhilarating performances, enriching travel and cultural exploration, lifelong music education, and connection to an inspiring community of choral artists. We add the elements for the ultimate choral experience: a world-class conductor and faculty; repertoire you crave; inspiring travel; one-of-a-kind opportuni

ties to sing in great concert halls with a professional orchestra; and a big chorus of singers like you. Together, we create choral magic.

“It's an immersive music "fantasy camp" for adults” - Alison R. BCI creates a world of unique choral music experiences. Join us and hone your skills, meet new friends, and expand your choral horizons. Signature Singing Weeks
For 40 years, BCI has built its reputation on giving experienced amateur singers a professional-level opportunity to sing the big choral-orchestral repertoire under the batons of some of the world’s greatest conductors. Each week is hosted at a prestigious educational institution or in a renowned cultural capital. We sing our hearts out during an intensive week leavened by sightseeing, shared meals, classes, and social time. It’s the chorus camp of your dreams. Weekend Choral Adventures
We’re expanding BCI’s vision with long-weekend events for choral singers which will provide a more flexible and intimate workshop-style experience where the focus is on specific musical themes, choral styles, or composers. With a diverse, rotating series of topics and conductors, our goal isn’t putting on a big concert, but lifelong learning, new friendships, and the joy of singing.
