About Singing in Wisconsin
Singing in Wisconsin (SIW) is an annual, inclusive, non-auditioned festival choir experience for all Wisconsin singers in grades 4-12 - from the seasoned choir student to the new singer who is curious to try their first large ensemble. Held every year at four sites across Wisconsin on the second Saturday in November and capped with a public concert, SIW brings together young musicians for a day of choral learning and connecting with the goal of helping to foster a life-long love of singing with others.
