Artistic Director, Victoria Cole, shares her summer enrichment experiences:
In June I attended the Atlanta Summer Choral Conducting Institute held at Georgia State University and led by nationally recognized conductors Deanna Josephs and Daniel Bara. Approximately 50 participants worked intensively on conducting gesture, score preparation, and choral vocal pedagogy using choral masterworks form Handel, Bruckner, Mendelssohn and many others. An inspiring week!
In July I was at the Ogontz Choral Symposium right close by in Lyman NH with 60 other participants, including our own members Karen Rennar, Shep Holcombe, and Rick Umiker, where we soaked in the joy of working under famed UK choral maestro David Hill. These conferences help us network, learn, grow, which then I can bring to our rehearsals and performances to help all of us learn and grow. I am deeply appreciative to the Board for their support of these professional development opportunities.
