Thank you to all who took part in our 26 years of festivals, from our beginning in 1998 to celebrating the final season in 2023.
A great performance deserves an encore. After more than a quarter-century of amazing programming, picfest has turned its focus from the Festival Years to Serving Our Schools beginning in 2023. Take a look at our current projects below.
SERVING OUR SCHOOLS
With more than a quarter century of innovative programming, creative collaboration, and musical magic, picfest has accrued significant capacity to provide exceptional choral experiences. Now the picfest spotlight is moving from the choir festival stage to the school music classroom. picfest is currently working on two projects:
Musical Detective Academy
The Musical Detective Academy (MDA) is a sequential program for 3rd-5th graders. Each year, the students embark on a musical adventure to uncover the secrets of singing in a choir. Click the MDA logo to learn more!
picfest Commissions Project
Due to the enthusiastic response to the picfest Commissions Project in 2020-2022, work to adapt the innovative model to schools and community choirs is underway. Stay tuned...
