CHOIR MUSIC WEEKEND - Since 1986, local choir singers, directors, and accompanists have gathered at Lake Junaluska Conference and Retreat Center to celebrate God's gift of music and worship together. From the time of its inception through the present, the focus of Choir Music Weekend (CMW) at Lake Junaluska has been on encouraging the small to medium sized choir.
During the first several years of Choir Music Weekend, around 30 people participated, led by a staff of no more than 4 persons. In 2010, led by 10 gifted and creative United Methodist musicians, over 400 persons gathered for CMW.
Coming from across the Southeast Jurisdiction, choir members and directors gather to sing together, worship together, attend workshops and rehearsals, share food and fellowship, and enjoy the incredible beauty of the fall foliage at Lake Junaluska and the Smoky Mountains.
