The Hartford Chorale Internship Program

The Hartford Chorale introduced an internship program in 2006 for high school and college students as well as music educators (Continuing Education Units or CEUs).

An internship is a fabulous opportunity to sing in a professional choir, performing major symphonic choral works with the region's principal orchestra, the Hartford Symphony Orchestra, in addition to other performance opportunities. Our interns benefit from working alongside professional and experienced singers, being mentored by their vocal section leader and building unsurpassed vocal and choral experience under the direction of Music Director Richard Coffey.

All of our internships are funded by an internship scholarship. Interns are required to meet all of the membership expectations as well as complete an internship evaluation at the end of the season. This evaluation is sent to the intern's school music director for whatever credit is agreed upon by that school. For more details on the program and evaluation, download the appropriate file below.

In the 2009-2010 season, we are thrilled to have 3 high school interns and 8 college interns participating. These students come from the following schools: Cromwell High School, Glastonbury High School, Simsbury High School, Central CT State University, Manchester Community College, Northwestern State University, Trinity College, Tunxis University, and University of Connecticut.
