The Chattanooga Boys Choir hosts its seventh annual Only Men Aloud! festival for changed-voice singers in grades 8-12 for a day of instruction, rehearsal, and performance. The CBC’s Cantabile choir joins local students in preparing selections under the direction of CBC staff and guest clinician Dr. Peter Steenblik (Director of Choral Activities, University of West Florida) with whom they will perform in an afternoon "informance" program for parents and guests. Master classes with voice instructors and performances by the Men's Choir from the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga will highlight this day of music and learning. In order to have enough sheet music and materials for everyone, participants should register for the festival by Friday, October 26.
