Launching in January 2026, the Colchagua Vocal Institute invites a new generation of singers and pianists to be part of something extraordinary.
As the pioneering edition of this retreat-style program, it offers not only exceptional training, but the rare opportunity to help shape a meaningful international space for artistic growth, cultural exchange, and musical excellence.
Set in the heart of Chile’s Valle de Colchagua—a region often called the Chilean Napa Valley for its world-class vineyards and rich cultural legacy—the program brings together a hand-selected group of just 15 singers and 2 pianists for nine days of focused study, collaboration, and inspiration.
Participants work closely with faculty who are not only acclaimed educators but active performers on international stages.
The curriculum centers on the beauty and power of Hispanic and Latin American repertoire, offering in-depth stylistic work and insight rarely accessible in traditional conservatory settings.
More than a training program, Colchagua is a space where personal and artistic well-being come first.
Alongside lessons and coachings, the week includes sessions in music therapy, vocal health, and career preparation, all taking place in an intimate, retreat-style atmosphere that fosters reflection and connection.
The experience culminates in a public concert that welcomes the local community into the musical journey.
To ensure a solid foundation from the start, this inaugural edition is proud to be supported by esteemed local partners including Fundación Factoría Musical, Ilustre Municipalidad de Santa Cruz, and the Antología de la Canción de Arte Chilena, a program of the Universidad Alberto Hurtado.
Applications for the Colchagua Vocal Institute are now open! We welcome you to be part of the first chapter.
