10th Annual Clark College Fall Choral Festival (Photo) - 10/17/25

18 Area Middle and High Schools To Participate

Vancouver, Wash. -- The Clark College Music Department will host the 10th Annual Fall Choral Festival on Friday, November 14, 2025 in Gaiser Student Center at Clark's main campus. There will be 18 middle and high school chamber and concert choirs from the area who will sing in this non-competitive festival which runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.  Audience tickets are $5/person for the day.

Clinicians for this festival include:

April Duvic, founder of the Clark College Choral Festival;

Katy Green, Director of Choral Activities at Pacific University;

Chris Maunu, Grammy-nominated teacher and Artistic Director of the Pacific Youth Choir; and

Mike Scott, Director of Choral Activities at Columbia Basin College.

“I’m thrilled that we’ll have so many choirs visiting campus for our festival and I’m excited to hear the great work they are doing,” says Festival Director Dr. Jacob Funk, also the Director of Choirs at Clark College. “Participating choirs get the chance to work with some highly skilled clinicians and receive written feedback on their performance. Each choir will also get to have a mini-clinic onstage, allowing for the other schools to see how a different choir learns new ways to succeed. Two of the Clark College Choirs will perform for all the participating choirs in the middle of the festival. It will be a wonderful time of music making, learning, and supporting each other in song.”
