Encore Summer 2026 Program Registration
Description
Join us for Summer 2026!
Important: Registrations submitted after June 5th, 2026 cannot be guaranteed physical sheet music at their first rehearsal. Those who register later may need to print their own music for the start of the season based on music availability.
Encore Creativity for Older Adults is the nation’s largest choral arts organization for adults 55 and over. Our non-auditioned ensembles are designed for singers of all levels, singing in four-part harmony.
Sing with friends, make new ones, and share the joy of singing with six-week non-auditioned ensembles that will culminate in an opportunity for friends and guests to sing along! This summer, we are offering Chorales, ROCKS, Broadway, and Arts for Life programs across the country! Whether you can join for one week or all six, these ensembles are a wonderful way for new singers to experience Encore and for returning singers to stay involved over the summer. We hope you will come sing with us!
