Mark your calendars. The 2027 RSCM Carolina Summer Choral Residency will be held June 21st - 27th, 2027, and we return to Saint Mary’s School in Raleigh, NC, with our closing services at Duke Chapel in Durham. Next summer is our 30th annual residency, and we are definitely planning to celebrate!

Thank you to everyone who made the 2026 Summer Choral Residency what it was. Special thanks go to our Music Director, Kristin Lensch, to Course Organist Käthe Wright Kaufman, to our Chaplain, the Reverend Imogen Rhodenhiser, and to our manager, Dr. Mark Ardrey-Graves. A special thank you as well to the parents, churches, teachers, and mentors of our choristers and adult participants. You make their journey possible, and it is a joy to hear how far they come in a single week. Video links and pictures are below.
