Please join us for another exciting Bonclarken Music Conference!
The Bonclarken Music Conference is Bonclarken’s largest conference, and it provides a wonderful week of top quality clinicians, worship, music, fellowship, fun, and entertainment. The clinicians for each choir are nationally known clinicians, and they provide wonderful musical experiences and expertise especially suited for each choir level. A minister leads the worship service each morning, and there is a special Children’s Church for the younger choirs. Each night, evening activities are shared by the entire conference, and the Middle Schoolers and Youth finish the day with devotions and praise songs at the Nibble Nook.
The Cherub Choir is for rising kindergarten and first grade students, while the Primary Choir is for rising second and third graders. The Junior Choir is for rising fourth and fifth graders, and the Middle School Choir is composed of rising sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. The ninth through twelfth graders make up the Youth Choir. The college students and adults are in the Adult Choir.
Throughout the week the children enjoy crafts, swimming, and recreation. The Middle Schoolers and Youth may schedule special activities in their free time with Bonclarken, such as the climbing tower, zip line, pamper pole, swing. Adults enjoy reading sessions of choir music for the various grade levels and workshops on organ and other special areas. There is also a time for swimming for adults. A music store provides an opportunity to peruse music and purchase it for your own needs at home.
The conference concludes on Friday evening with a Concert of Sacred Music in the Youth Activity Building for all the choirs. CD’s and Videos of the concert are available for purchase that evening. Invite your friends and family to attend this great concert!
Music Conference is a wonderful week to join choir members from other churches and make new friends, meet other people from our denomination, rekindle friendships and relationships while singing joyfully and worshiping our God with gladness. Many persons make Music Conference attendance the top priority to attend during the summer! Why don’t you try it? You’ll be coming back for more!
