Open to participants internationally, NICW 27 combines choral singing, travel, and cultural immersion across several of Nicaragua’s most essential destinations. The 16-day retreat balances rehearsal and performance with exploration, social connection, and ample free time to experience the country at a relaxed pace. Participants will collaborate with Granada-based sister ensemble Coro Laudate in a varied program drawing from classical, Canadian, and Nicaraguan sacred and secular traditions, with singing residencies and performances in San Juan del Sur, Granada, and León. Along the way, participants will build meaningful friendships, engage with local communities, discover Nicaragua’s rich cultural heritage, and share memorable musical experiences that foster artistic growth, cultural understanding.
