About Course
The Dallas Boys Course is for boys ages 8-17. At this annual course, choristers come together from across the country for a week of extraordinary music-making, fun, and friendships that will last a lifetime. Through daily rehearsals and workshops led by world-renowned musicians, choristers will learn and grow in their vocal technique and knowledge of sacred music. Choristers will perform in liturgies throughout the week, including Evensongs and Sunday Eucharist. Additional activities to promote fun and fellowship will include sports, recreation and social events, as well as outings which explore some of the many cultural treasures of Dallas, such as the downtown Arts District and museums.
With its central location, ease of transportation, and cosmopolitan appeal, Dallas is the ideal location for this new course. In the past decade, Dallas has seen a major rebirth of chorister programs. Dallas is a city full of singing both in churches and in schools, and many of Dallas's major churches now feature large RSCM-based chorister programs.
