Bermuda’s budding singing talent has been invited to take part in a Vocal Arts Intensive this month. From August 19 to 25 young people in Bermuda will have the opportunity to participate in the Summer Singing Experience. 

The staff at CaBrailsong School of Vocal Arts have been working with youth in the US for the last two decades and they are excited about making their international debut here in Bermuda.

All roads will lead to Allen Temple AME Church in Somerset each evening for a week of workshops that will culminate with a finale concert for the conclusion on Sunday, August 25 at the Willowbank Conference Center.
